Yes, I tested it. When you place that config file containing "search 
updates built-in" in /etc/depmod.d
directory, it doesn't work. You have to place it in global config file 
/etc/depmod.conf.

How depmod works with config files in /etc/depmod.d directory is a 
mystery for me. I wasn't able to learn
this from manual pages.

And I tested another thing too. When some of config files (either global 
/etc/depmod.conf or one of those in /etc/depmod.d directory)
doesn't contain search command ,
everything works fine, according to manual page for depmod, using 
builtin search string "updates built-in" what  is
what you need. As soon as one of them (either global or one of those in 
/etc/depmod.d directory) contains search command,
then depmod uses this one. It seems seach command in global config file 
(/etc/depmod.conf) has higher priory. But as I say
I really don't know how depmod works with all config files.
