So can we fix the kernel package now, even if the version has to stay at
3.0.0? The depmod hack is probably superfluous, but the rest are either
cleanups or fixes to make a future NUM.NUM release:

      kbuild: Fix KERNELVERSION for empty SUBLEVEL or PATCHLEVEL
      kbuild: Fix <linux/version.h> for empty SUBLEVEL or PATCHLEVEL
      kbuild: Move depmod call to a separate script
      perf: Use make kernelversion instead of parsing the Makefile

and this one is a genuine regression fix:

      kbuild: silence Nothing to be done for 'all' message

So would pull the branch if I revert "kbuild: Hack for depmod not
handling X.Y versions"?

thanks,
Michal
