Bug Description

after espresso install, /etc/modules is empty (but for the default comment). However, e. g. on powerpc casper initializes /e/m to contain e. g. snd_powermac, so that sound will work on powerpc. Espresso should copy /e/m so that sound works on the espresso-installed system as well.

If casper's writing /etc/modules, then casper should also install an espresso target-config hook (like the others it installs) to copy /etc/modules to the target system.

I noticed tonight that after a Ubiquity install on one of my computer that lp was not in /etc/modules. Is this possibly a regression of this previously fixed bug?
