The modules.dep file contains names of all modules installed in
particular kernel modules directory. We cannot do anything better than
parsing that file because it's (re)genrated on the system each time
packages with modules have been installed/removed. If that wasn't the
case modprobe that depends on that file wouldn't work either.
