Moving kernel modules under /usr/lib in installer

Hi Cyril,

In the latest version of kernel-wedge I added support for modules being
packaged under /usr/lib/modules/$kernelversion rather than
/lib/modules/$kernelversion.  Whichever of those directories is found
under $SOURCEDIR will be used in the udebs.

All the regular packages built from src:linux have been usr-moved, but
it still makes modules appear under
$SOURCEDIR/lib/modules/$kernelversion when invoking kernel-wedge, as
required by earlier versions.  I would like to remove this workaround,
which would result in usr-moving the udebs as well.

I know the installer environment has been usr-merged for some time, so
I don't expect this to cause any problems.  But do you see any issue
with this?

Ben.
