Not sure I understand:

1. is potato not compatible with 2.2.17? or perhaps this is just the
initial release of potato, and not the updates.

2. how can a new modutils prevent this symlink from being created?

Or are you saying that depmod should just ignore this symlink?

If this is the case, it seems pretty silly, as the deb file typically
is for installation on other computers, where the symlink just will
become an invalid symlink.
