Bug#706242: lintian: Ignore kernel modules for shared-lib-without-dependency-information

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.12
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi!

After seeing the huge amount of overrides in lintian.d.o (!), I check
some OOC, and found this one which creates lots of false-positives.
Attached a patch fixing it.

Thanks,
Guillem
