Comment 20 for bug 8832

In particular, the maintainer lies, or at least is misleading:

syndicate /etc# rm modules.conf
syndicate /etc# update-modules
syndicate /etc# head modules.conf
### This file is automatically generated by update-modules"
#
# Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add
# anything please take a look at the files in /etc/modutils and read
# the manpage for update-modules.
#
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/0keep
# DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE!
# This file is not marked as conffile to make sure if you upgrade modutils
# it will be restored in case some modifications have been made.

As this is run by many postinst scripts, this makes /etc/modprobe.d pretty
useless because we ship both modutils and module-init-tools in base.
