We should not be shipping nvidia-modprobe. As per the documentation in the code:

/*
* This is a small setuid utility for loading the NVIDIA kernel module
* and creating NVIDIA device files. Different Linux distributions
* handle automatic module loading and device file creation in
* different ways. When the NVIDIA driver is packaged for a specific
* distribution, it is recommended to use distribution-specific management
* of module loading and device file creation rather than this utility.
