This is a known bug.
Debian Bug Reports Logs: #53247
Title: modutils: modules.dep generated during boot has incorrect timestamp
Age: 336 Days old as of 21 November 2000
Manifests as a message during boot that says:
"insmod: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.17/
modules.dep"
Suggested workaround: as root, issue "depmod -a" following boot.
It was a problem in 2.2.17 and, given the age of the bug report, it appears the
maintainer is not in any hurry to fix it (because it is not a catastrophic
problem) or that it is something that will be difficult to fix.
Hope this helps.
