Version: 3.2-pre1-2
Severity: normal
Modprobe seems to include all files found in /etc/modprobe.d,
maybe except specials like *.dpkg-dist.
This is a problem if a user changes a file and wants to keep
a backup copy. He probably would not call it `something.dpkg-dist'.
It seems that the patch excluding dpkg-names initially allowed
only /^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/, but this was changed because some special
file was needed in some cases. I think the old way is right and the
new way is wrong. The namespace rule should be positive like "anything
alphanumeric or ending with .modconf", not negative like "everything
except SomeEditor's backups and SomeVCS metadata".
Any special name can be symlinked or include'd if necessary.
And it would be nice to have the behavior documented somewhere.
A `README.renaming' file in /etc/modprobe.d could prevent confusion,
but alas, modprobe would think it's configuraton. :)

I am closing this bug because I do not want to add Debian-specific
behaviour which would probably confuse users. If you disagree please
discuss this issue with the upstream maintainer.
