i just tried to make the modules by hand and then install them with 'make modules_install' (instead of using make-kpkg) and none of the *_MODULES files were copied to /lib/modules/2.x.x. make-kpkg explicitly copies these files to that directory (look in /usr/lib/kernel-package/rules). i suspect the new depmod tests to see if all the files in the modules subdirectories are elf objects and, if they are not, crashes. it could be a bug in depmod, it should skip non-elf objects, but then the *_MODULES files are not supposed to be there in the first place. it's hard to say whose bug this really is, but i think i would go with make-kpgp (don't copy extra files where they are not supposed to be in the first place just to be cute). so, indeed, removing all the *_MODULES (including the one in misc) gets depmod working again.
