Historical accident. I want to clean that up but it breaks existing
behaviour; somewhere, somebody is bound to rely on depmod -V updating
modules.dep at the same time. modutils 2.5 will clean up a lot of
backwards compatibility crud, including this one. But you will not see
modutils 2.5 until Linus rolls kernel 2.5 and we start the next
development cycle.
