But if I understand this correctly, isn't modules.alias generated by
depmod? And isn't module dependencies calculated during boot?

The file will be regenerated by depmod, which _may_ be run at boot
when /etc/init.d/modules is run by /sbin/rc.  The init script runs
modules-update, which will run depmod if /etc/modprobe.conf is newer
than /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep.
