Bug#1061712: initramfs-tools: initramfs hooks do not seem to work on kernels above linux 6.5 (e.g. 6.6 or 6.7)

[Safir Secerovic <sapphire@linux.org.ba>]

Yes, this explains it.

I modified my omit kernel module hook and it works like a charm.

Thank You so much Bastian!

So it matches modules in filename alone.  And since 6.6 the modules are
compressed and named "module.ko.xz".
