Kernel images and their modules are tightly coupled. To the best of my 
knowledge, there's no guarantee two different versions (or even two 
different configurations of the same version) of /boot/*Image can 
successfully load the other's modules. It's therefore necessary to 
package an alternate kernel's modules separately so that it can be 
installed along side alternate kernel images. Otherwise, those alternate 
images are not very useful unless they're configured without module 
support. I argue that module support is common enough to include these 
changes in the same patch, but I suppose that reasoning is somewhat 
subjective and debatable!

...to here.

Depmodwrapper conditionally passes a `-F .../System.map` parameter to 
depmod when installing the main kernel, dropping it otherwise (now with 
a warning instead of an error). This shouldn't alter depmod's behavior 
since -F is only significant when paired with -e, which not presently 
being used. It's necessary since an erroring depmodwrapper prevents 
installing alternate kernels into offline images.
