Run this command to get a list of the packages involved.

dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-restricted-modules

Whatever package names you see, add them to this command line:

apt-get remove pkg1 pkg2 ...

Now, this wont work if you actually use other modules in this package. The only alternative is to compile 
your kernel using a different EXTRA_VERSION, so that it does not get installed in the same place with the 
same name as our kernels.

Closing this bug report since we can't account for users overwriting package files (package files always 
take precedence).
