As I understood this discussion, the idea is not to move /lib/modules in
the installed systems, but to find a why to tell the kernel's Makefile to
install modules into `debian/tmp/lib/modules' during execution of
make-kpkg.
If this is really the only reason for running make-kpkg as root, we should
patch the kernel makefiles. Perhaps it would be sufficient, to replace
/lib/modules by $PREFIX/lib/modules or something similar.
Thanks,
Chris
