It should be run on installation of the new modutils, but only once.
If it's not working, that's a bug.
Bill - Perhaps I don't understand the process. How about those of us who have a play
box where the hardware config changes a lot with time? Should not the script be run
everytime it detects a diff between the most recent modules.conf and the modprobe.conf? Or
something like that anyway. Seems that it should be trying to pick up changes more
frequently anyway.
