Bug#781205: initramfs-tools fails to include modules for 3.19 kernel

[Marc MERLIN <marc_soft@merlins.org>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.119

I have MODULES=most

With a 3.16 kernel, the cpio image contains:

/lib/modules/3.16.7-amd64-i915-volpreempt-20141114-cm1
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root   4096 Mar 25 16:57 kernel/        <<<<  modules are here
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2047 Mar 25 16:57 modules.dep    <<<<<<< good
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   3662 Mar 25 16:57 modules.dep.bin 

With 3.19, I get an empty modules.dep file due tol no modules

/lib/modules/3.19.2-amd64-i915-volpreempt-20141114:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> no kernel directory, no modules <<<<<<<<<<<
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Mar 25 16:54 modules.dep     
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   12 Mar 25 16:54 modules.dep.bin

As a result, the resulting image will not boot since no modules will load.

I'm not too sure how to debug initramfs-tools' code that fails to include modules
for my 3.19 kernel.
I did rebuild the initrd for my 3.16 kernel and all modules are there, no problem.

Thanks,
Marc
