This is all complete, and is slowly moving into [testing] over the next
half hour or so. Final rebuild list looks like this:

kmod
linux
linux-lts
bash-completion
fcpci
fcpcmcia
nvidia
nvidia-lts
lirc

cdfs
ndiswrapper
r8168
r8168-lts
rt3562sta
vhba-module
virtualbox-modules
virtualbox-modules-lts

open-vm-tools-modules is a pain in the butt and has NOT been rebuilt
yet. I'll get to this tonight but just a heads up that there will be
some sort of a lag period before this is updated.

Again, please heed the warning from my original message if you're a
custom kernel user. If you can't immediately rebuild your kernel, a
quick *temporary* solution is to either move the module dir yourself or
symlink /usr/lib/modules back to /lib/modules. This *must* be done in
the near future (ominous!).

cheers,
Dave
