Not only does the fix for that commit not make sense without the commit in the first place, but any environment that sets depmod somewhere else might well be an environment that still wants stable kernels.
It may not be the traditional case, but there's little reason for the kernel build to force that /sbin/depmod location.
I'll take it, thanks!
