Dear Maintainer,

I was just starting a dist-upgrade from trixie to forky, but kmod refused to
install citing not being able to find lsmod.  Eventually, I extracted
kmod_34.2-2_amd64.deb and modified it.  The solution was to remove one of
either of the symlinks to kmod named lsmod.  One exists at usr/bin/lsmod and
one at usr/sbin/lsmod.  I chose to remove the one in usr/sbin but it doesn't
matter as both have the same inode on systems with merged /bin, /usr/bin,
/sbin, & /usr/sbin as all should be by now.

After making this small deletion, and repackaging it with "dpkg-deb -b
kmod_34.2-2_amd64 kmod_34.2-2_amd64.deb", now the package installs without fail
and I have the dist-upgrade continuing.
