Bug Description
librem-ec-acpi-dkms in librem-ec-acpi uses:
```
for kmod in $(find "${MODULESDIR}
done
```
vmxnet in open-vm-tools uses:
```
if find "${DESTDIR}
manual_add_modules vmxnet
fi
```
Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) ships kernel modules compressed (e.g. pcnet32.ko.zst) and those snippets will not find these compressed modules.
Be also aware of the change to manual_add_modules done in bug #2065180

From the analysis in the MP, the code in question is vestigial. I let Debian know and they've removed the file. When they put out a new release it will automatically sync in here.
Since the code is non-operational there's no point backporting the cleanup, so I'll close out the noble task.
