Sure, I am OK with putting this off.

It depends on how distributions
implement scripts in their packages.

It would be annoying if the packages were broken
every time a new script is added.


So, I expect the whole of scripts/
is copied to the module development package.


The in-kernel deb package is OK
because files under scripts/ are collected
by the 'find' command.


scripts/package/builddeb:59:
find $(find arch/$SRCARCH -name include -o -name scripts -type d) -type f

scripts/package/builddeb:67:
find arch/$SRCARCH/include Module.symvers include scripts -type f


The rpm packages are also OK.



But, downstream packages should be updated
if scripts/module-common.lds is hard-coded.

Sure.
We can go with Jessica's one-liner fix.

I will post mine as a separate patch
with linux-arch ML CCed to get more
attention.
