Faster, incremental depmod when adding modules?

When installing 1 or more out-of-tree modules within /lib/modules/$UNAME, is it possible to run depmod in an incremental fashion - adding symbols from the new modules to modules.dep[.bin] without re-scanning all of the other modules from that kernel version? I've tried specifying the new module files, but that seems to create a completely new modules.dep containing *only* the symbols from the new modules (which obviously isn't very useful). -- ======================================================================== Google Where SkyNet meets Idiocracy ========================================================================
