Bug#402499: initramfs-tools: depmod wastes space and time, please replace it with a modules.dep file

IMHO there should be at least a dummy modules.dep to suppress the FATAL: Cannot load modules.dep messages during booting, when kernel tries to load net-pf-1 etc. depmod -a can later replace the dummy with a correct modules.dep. I currently use the attached hook to do this. -- Jindrich Makovicka
