Long answer: You can feed depmod multiple module directories, so depmod has to look for directory 'kernel' to work out the top level of each tree. modules.dep and the other text files are only ignored at the top level of each tree. You have no 'kernel' directory under /lib/modules/2.4.18 so depmod does not ignore the text files.
