Issue body
I built a custom kernel with custom modules built in. I can build the kernel snap and build the custom image using ubuntu-image and install it on my device with no issues, however, when I try to list the installed modules, no modules are installed and I get an error message saying that the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep.bin is missing, which, if I go to /lib/modules/ the directory is empty. However, if I browse to /snap/kernel/x1/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ there everything is.
I included the kernel snap, my redacted model, and the kernel snap snapcraft.yaml. I build the image with the following command:
sudo /snap/bin/ubuntu-image -c edge -o fb-snappy.img --extra-snaps fb-kernel_3.18.25_amd64.snap fb-onl.model
I'm running ubuntu-image 0.12+real1
Let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks,
Luke
