It fails with tons of errors about unresolved symbols, because the default depmod is from the modutils package. I can figure out 2 possible solutions: to include module-init-tools somehow in the base installation so it is installed before the kernel or to update the dependencies of the kernel image package with module-init-tools. I noticed that in the 2.6.8-2 kernel that comes with Sarge, module-init-tools is included as a dependency. I tried to modify manualy the debian/control file and to iclude module-init-tools as a dependency, but every time I run make-kpkg it is overwriten.

I modified base-installer-udeb package when I built a custom cd with
2.6.12 on it, since I also noticed module-init-tools were not in the
dependancy list of new 2.6 kernels. I just made the postinst script
handle it an appropriate place in base-installer.
