I am running the official Debian squeeze kernel. That machine is updated to squeeze daily.

saturn:~/init# uname -r
2.6.32-trunk-686
saturn:~# depmod 2.6.32-trunk-686
saturn:~# update-initramfs -c -t -k 2.6.32-trunk-686
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-686
saturn:~# mkdir init; cd init
saturn:~/init# gunzip -c /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-686 | cpio -i -d -H newc --no-absolute-filenames

saturn:~/init# ls lib/modules/2.6.32-trunk-686/
kernel

As you can see modules.dep does not find its way in the initrd.

This is with version 0.93.4 of initramfs-tools.
