This code removes all diversions belonging to modutils from the system
"the hard way" and allow module-init-tools to be updated on the test
system. I cannot comment on whether it may be suitable for inclusion
into the package. Use at your own risk.
The rm/ln code for /sbin/insmod(.modutils) may be a fix for local
issue on my system where /sbin/insmod.modutils was a zero bytes file.
I don't know why dpkg-divert checks whether the file is a hard-link
before renaming, but that seemed to be necessary.
Greetings
