Usually I remove old subdirectories in /lib/modules after checking what orphaned modules have been left. Now this task is more difficult. For someone who doesn't known that there are links into the old modules subdir it may be dangerous, because some modules will be lost.
How about copying modules from the old modules dir into the new one instead of linking to it?
And thus making the package management system lose track of these files? I think this is not wise for the long term. You could just check for files in directories whether they are registered with a package and only delete the directory if none of them is.
