Prefixing with "man5/" is actually correct even though it looks weird;
.so links are relative to the base of the manual page hierarchy.
However, you don't need the trailing .gz on the .so link.
A correct patch would be:
-.so modprobe.conf.5
+.so man5/modprobe.conf.5
** Changed in: module-init-tools (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

modprobe.conf man page has invalid symlink
