You're missing the problem: we can't assume that people have updated user land.

Furthermore, the very pull request I'm responding to actually tries to
handle this, see commit bfe5424a8b31 ("kbuild: Hack for depmod not
handling X.Y versions"), but it's just not working for me.

And it's not working, because it only handles the "modules_install"
case, not the case where the system install scripts do their own
depmod.
