  No. The problem you have is not a dependency problem. The module manager 
just checks that modules.conf (the configuration file) and modules.dep (the 
dependency file) have the same age.
  It can indeed happen that different ages for those files indicates a kernel 
change that has not been taken in account everywhere. But if all you do is 
changing modules.conf and not the kernel, then there is no real problem and 
you can ignore the warning.
  "Touching" the two files makes them the same age, so the warning disappears.
