installing the latest version of module-init-tools creates problems modprobing
hid . It claims that it can't find keybdev. Now based on bug# 11886 about
modutils-2.4.22  (which is what the latest version of module-init-tools) I
attempted to insmod hid which did not work. However I manually changed the
ebuild of module-init-tools to use modutils-2.4.20 and everything works correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. use the latest module-init-tools
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
mouse doesn't work and hid isn't used

Expected Results:  
system should work

This is fixed in the latest unmasked version of module-init-tools. The problem was a bunch of new unreasonable hard-coded defaults for depmod that caused hid to have a problem.
