scripts/nsdeps is written to take care of only in-tree modules.
Perhaps, this is not a bug, but just a design. At least,
Documentation/core-api/symbol-namespaces.rst focuses on in-tree modules.
Having said that, some people already tried nsdeps for external modules.
So, it would be nice to support it.

- notice the warning of modpost telling about a missing import
- run `make nsdeps` to add the import to the correct code location
+You can also run nsdeps for external module builds. A typical usage is::
