Sure, agreed.  I was being sloppy.  Basically it's up to you as a
kernel-image maintainer to decide what sets of modules you need to
build against.  Since we are looking for an automated solution, we're
going to have to be conservative and may end up building slightly more
modules than we strictly need, but we will at least have modules that work.
