Some people get success with the old kernel and the new modutils, others find that it does not work. Most find that it does not work.
Your best bet would be to create two sets of modutils binaries and have the init scripts pick the right one based on the kernel you are running that day.
I think uninstalling and reinstalling RPMs to do this (especially on Debian <g> ) is rather like changing your gas tank whenever you switch between premium and unleaded fuel, but I guess it works :}
