dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering
kernel modules with modutils.

Files named debian/package.modules will be installed as etc/modutils/package
in the package build directory.

Then postinst and postrm commands are automatically generated to register
the modules when the package is installed. See

package this program acts on which has either the above-mentioned file, or
has .o files in /lib/modules.
