Issue body
tested version: snapcraft 2.40, deb install
kernel snap
Snapcraft makes assumption there is modprobe present on the machine when checking kernel modules dependencies.
This makes kernel build fail in Launchpad
Just some options to fix the problem:
- kernel plugin have build-package dependency for kmod
- snapcraft deb package having dependency on kmod and snapcraft snap shipping with kmod included
- modprobe check being optional
