Summary

The packages for X.Y-RELEASE are a snapshot of the quarterly branch
for stable/X, i.e. typically built on X.(Y-1)-RELEASE. (The case of
Y=0 is an exception for obvious reasons.) This works for most ports
but not for kernel modules, which may need to be built on the release
in question; this is why we have a separate "kmods" repository.

Make sure that we put the packages from the kmods repository onto the
mini-pkg-repo on the DVD rather than shipping unusable firmware.

(Note that this is not necessary for FreeBSD 15.0, but may be
necessary for 14.4.)
