Well, yes, but while installing into a final location all these .ko files could be renamed to have .o extensions. This would avoid screwing up user-space utilities. It is not that difficult to fix mkinitrd to try _both_ ways (I do not know how many folks runs exclusively 2.5 kernels) but who knows how many other things will have to be modified introducing gratituos incompatibilities.
