Bug Description

Binary package hint: lirc

$ lsb_release -rd
     Release: 9.04

# apt-cache policy lirc
    Installed: 0.8.4a-0ubuntu3

Problem when running `dpkg-reconfigure lirc`:

 * Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
 * selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

lirc.postinst has call `/etc/init.d/lirc start`, where you find on line 25:

    modprobe -k $mod 2> /dev/null || MODULES_MISSING=true

`man modprobe` describes no option "-k". If I remove the "-k" from the init script, it works, and all of the install process runs smoothly.
