This really isn't util-linux' fault. If you remove the package of the running kernel then from then on all module loading will fail as they went away. I think it would be better to add some safety check into the kernel's preinst to abort the removal of the currently running kernel. I think in the past we even had that, but it's not the case in current utopic (I verified that I can purge the running kernel just fine).
