I have someone who is trying to use update-alternatives with kernel modules.

They discovered that the rename code changes the name of the module to end in .ko.${BPN}. While the package.bbclass code specifically looks for the file name to end in '.ko' in order to avoid stripping the modules... so of course the modules get stripped and no longer work properly.

So my question is, is it even reasonable to use update-alternatives with kernel modules? If it is, we probably need to change the trigger in packages.bbclass to look for either .ko or .ko.${BPN} (or something similar).

Any comments/suggestions?
