Bug Description
Binary package hint: module-init-tools
On Ubuntu 8.04,
with the package "module-init-tools" in 3.3-pre11-4ubuntu5 version (gave by apt-cache policy),
in the man of the "modinfo" command :
one field of the -F option is wrong. It is named "param" in my man page. But it is "parm".
Sincerely,
Nicolas Michel.

- depmod generates and modprobe uses binary indexes for module lists,
giving a significant performance benefit.
- legacy support for pre-2.6 kernels dropped.
- module ordering support. LP: #118040, #317724.

in /etc/modprobe.d should end with ".conf", support for other names is
retained with a warning but will be dropped.
* Note that the Ubuntu -Q option to modprobe has been dropped, to silence
modprobe use -q.
