+    <para>
+      <filename>modules.dep.bin</filename> is a binary file generated by
+      <command>depmod</command> listing the dependencies for
+      every module in the directories under
+      <filename>@MODULE_DIRECTORY@/</filename><replaceable>version</replaceable>.
+      It is used by kmod tools such as <command>modprobe</command> and
+      libkmod.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Its text counterpart is located in the same directory with the name
+      <filename>modules.dep</filename>. The text version is maintained only
+      for easy of reading by humans and is in no way used by any kmod tool.

+      compatible fashion rather than touching these files.
