Umm, it does try a depmod on install:
if ( -d "/lib/modules/$version" ) {
my $ret = system("depmod -a -F $realimageloc/System.map-$version $version");
...
}
$realimageloc is generally /boot.
If you are installing on a chroot, that should work fine, I
would think.

If you provide some more details on how the kernel-imagfe-X.XX
.deb is installed, we may be able to help.
