From: Sascha Silbe <x-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When built with module support, we'll need the kmod package to handle the user space side of kernel module management. When built with initramfs support but not building an initramfs directly into the kernel, we'll need initramfs-tools to build the initramfs that will be loaded. If a the official kernel package of the distribution was installed first the dependencies are already installed and it will happen to work. However on a fresh install base system with just the kernel package built by deb-pkg installed the dependencies will be missing and the system will fail to boot.
