Ok, so if the problem statement is that hardcoded paths are bad, then why continue to hardcode the "/lib/modules" fragment? Just make it so that KERNEL_MODULE_PREFIX can be set to the exact string "/usr/lib/modules" and not just "/usr".
That sounds cleaner but I'm worried it would be a BC break in setups that expect the existing layout under INSTALL_MOD_PATH, wouldn't it? Michal
