[Bug 577029] [NEW] Kernel build fails if no modules built

[Chase Douglas]

Public bug reported:

The current kernel build infrastructure fails at the d-i udeb package
building stage if no module interdependencies are found. This occurs
when all required modules are statically built into the kernel.

The error occurs in kernel-wedge copy-modules because it assumes by
default that there should be at least some module interdependencies, and
there must be an error otherwise. It is possible to disable this check
by touching a file called 'no-modules' in the right location during the
build process. Our build rules should do this to prevent the error from
occurring.
