On a Debian system, when installing a package which provides a kernel
module with DKMS, the module is compiled and depmod is executed with a
command line that looks like:
depmod -a 4.19.0-5-amd64 -F /boot/System.map-4.19.0-5-amd64
This obviously requires depmod to read System.map. Otherwise, the
following events are logged to audit.log:
type=AVC msg=audit(1567802614.408:138551): avc: denied { search }
for pid=12090 comm="depmod" name="boot" dev="vda1" ino=262145
scontext=sysadm_u:sysadm_r:kmod_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:boot_t

type=AVC msg=audit(1567802670.132:138555): avc: denied { read }

for pid=14210 comm="depmod" path="/boot/System.map-4.19.0-5-amd64"
dev="vda1" ino=262148 scontext=sysadm_u:sysadm_r:kmod_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:system_map_t tclass=file permissive=1
and depmod fails, which makes apt fails with:
wireguard.ko:
