This project is incredible: the bug was fixed even before you had
reported it, in commit 4db7a9dc663c5b26e45ec35538bf68ff87acdf7b.  :-)

You still get a backtrace, but at least the error message is somewhat
clearer.  (Should we do away with the backtrace?)

When a system is built that requests a kernel module that does not
exists, this is the error message a user will see:
