"For jessie", I think. > As you said, with module autoloading it's rather wasteful to have it run > on every boot when this is done automatically nowadays. I haven't said it is wasteful, not at all. I said it isn't needed, which is quite different thing. > If you are worried that someone might use a wheezy kernel with jessie, > maybe you could add a NEWS entry telling people to add it to > /etc/modules? But maybe that is too prominent. > I don't expect too many people running jessie with a wheezy kernel. I don't either. But the good practice, IMHO, is to let at least the upgrade path to work correctly. So my plan is to remove this script for jessie+1, not for jessie. Or else I'd do that long time ago. Note that the script does nothing if kernel version is >3.9 (it checks uname). So the only issue here is the complain from (broken) update-rc.d. Why I think it is broken I already described. But besides this warning, no harm is done, so it is just a cosmetic issue. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
