And still is. However, if the symlink you're expecting isn't there...
Fresh install:
root@jhegaala:~# ll /sbin/depmod /usr/sbin/depmod
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 9 2019 /sbin/depmod -> /bin/kmod*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 9 2019 /usr/sbin/depmod -> /bin/kmod*
root@jhegaala:~#
Upgraded:
root@hawk:~# ll /sbin/depmod /usr/sbin/depmod
ls: cannot access '/usr/sbin/depmod': No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 9 2019 /sbin/depmod -> /bin/kmod*
root@hawk:~#
Going back to the OP, it appears he has the option to supply the full
path to depmod; perhaps he should try that.

well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government
of brute force."
