modules.builtin.bin is created, and always regenerated, by depmod based
on modules.builtin.  Requiring modules.builtin.bin to exist before
running depmod makes no sense at all.

So what change made depmod spit out this pointless warning?  You should
fix that bug instead insisting that some other package paper over it.
