Packaging kernel modules.

I am trying to package compcache. Control.modules.in does not seem to
be used by debuild. Other packages of compiled modules in Ubuntu don't
seem to use control.modules.in. Am I correct in assuming that
control.modules.in is only used when users compile their own modules
using the module assistant?

Also, is there a recommended way of overriding "uname -r" in upstream modules?
Add a custom path with custom uname executable.  Patch the upstream source?
