What's the use case here? Do you want a newer depmod to create a
database to be read by ancient modprobe (from 2008 as far as I could
check)? Why?

If it was the opposite (make modprobe to work with old database), I
could understand. But I can't really see why you are doing this here
and it just sounds crazy to me.
