OK you probably have an old version of depmod. depmod is provided by
module-init-tools, what version of module-init-tools do you have?

I have 3.10 (as on Ubuntu Karmic)

If this is an old depmod thing we will have to check the version of
depmod and do this for that case.

Its not that tricky, the new version reads /etc/depmod.conf and if
that is not found then moves on to check /etc/depmod.d/* files.

That's probably because your version doesn't use depmod.d dir.

Right, built-in will use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/ for modules,
chances are if no depmod.conf file or depmod.d dir is present default
may be to use built-in.

I believe this is built-in by default, then read depmod.conf first, if
that is not present read depmod.d dir.
