[Bug 501331] [NEW] modules.dep is missing on the initrd

[g00se]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

I used mkinitramfs and added manually kernel modules.
The commands I tried where copy_modules_dir and manual_add_modules.
Both commands ran successful and the module is contained in the initrd.
But modprobe fails because the created initrd doesn't contain the modules.dep.

I need to mount the root partition before I can use modprobe.

I wrote a hook which copies the modules.dep:

cp "/lib/modules/${version}/modules.dep" "${DESTDIR}/${MODULESDIR}/"
