For the record, this should have been fixed by Michal in:

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.

It handles what can be handled inside the kernel build, i.e. the depmod called from the Makefile during modules_install.


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.

Yes, tools creating an initrd would need a similar workaround, that's a pity :-(.
