Agreed. /boot is used in most of the programs that use the map file tho and not
too many of the programs look in the /lib/modules dir.
I don't think it'd be too difficult to convince the program maintainers to try
something new tho. And since this mostly affects people who recompile kernels,
it's easy to tie the installation and use together.
