For this the modules should also be saved, but dpkg has already
overwritten them... And even if you save them, you need to patch
modprobe etc. to detect that this is a special boot and modules should
be loaded from the saved location instead of /lib/modules/<KVERS>. I
think this method would be rather fragile...
