Bug#415474: mkinitramfs fails with monolithic kernels

[Damien Desmarets <damien.desmarets@systemanetwork.com>]

I had the same problem and I have resolved it by patching
/usr/share/kernel-package/pkg/image/preinst :

374,376d373
< else {
<   mkdir("$modules_base/$version", 0755);
< }

I don't know if this is clean but it's better for the portability of my
.deb kernel.
With this patch I can install it anywhere without modification on the
differents server where I install the kernel package. If I had patched
the mkinitramfs I will have to patch all my servers ... impossible !

So I think it's a better solution to patch kernel-package than
initramfs-tools for the moment until the initramfs-tools' maintainer
fix it in a new release (please).
