Reason for keeping verbose_missing_bin patch was because of test case described at:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684901

(k)root@fkmodissue:.../5.4.0-18-generic$ sudo mv modules.alias.bin modules.alias.bin.old

(k)root@fkmodissue:.../5.4.0-18-generic$ sudo modprobe hehe
modprobe: FATAL: Module hehe not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-18-generic

and it doesn't apply any longer with kernels 5.4 in focal.

Testing Bionic for the same test case:

(k)rafaeldtinoco@bkmodissue:.../5.3.0-42-generic$ sudo mv modules.alias.bin modules.alias.bin.old

(k)rafaeldtinoco@bkmodissue:.../5.3.0-42-generic$ sudo modprobe hehe
modprobe: FATAL: Module hehe not found in directory /lib/modules/5.3.0-42-generic

and with 5.0 kernels:

(k)rafaeldtinoco@bkmodissue:.../5.0.0-43-generic$ sudo mv modules.alias.bin modules.alias.bin.old

(k)rafaeldtinoco@bkmodissue:.../5.0.0-43-generic$ sudo modprobe hehe
modprobe: FATAL: Module hehe not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.0-43-generic

I think its safe to drop it since that Debian bug (from 2012) doesn't exist today.

Will re-do this test with patch dropped to make sure we solve this issue and don't cause regression in to that one.
