Hi,

the modprobe documentation states that:

%<--------
modprobe expects an up-to-date modules.dep.bin file (or fallback human 
readable modules.dep file)
%<--------

but in reality no fallback happens in the current code. module-init-tools did 
the fallback, so I suppose this is a leftover from the previous documentation.

I guess the simplest thing to do would be removing the documentation. On the 
other hand the depmod.pl script (from ltib.org) doesn't create the binary 
file, so not supporting "legacy" modules.dep breaks some stuff...
