this might be because you are looking to the wrong project
(module-init-tools) rather than kmod that replaced it some years ago?

Yep, that would be easy and allow depmod to be backward compatible
since we would do nothing if the symbol doesn't have the suffix.
As for dependency on a new version, this seems trivial enough to be
backported to previous releases used on distros so even if they are
not rolling they would get a compatible depmod.
