The IMAGE_INSTALL list has module-init-tools in it.  This list is based on 
package name and not "dependency" or "provide" name.  The package 
module-init-tools no longer exists in the system, there is only a runtime 
provide from the kmod package.

This ensures that any package that requires module-init-tools will work 
properly, but anyone adding module-init-tools to the IMAGE_INSTALL it will fail 
as you've seen above.
