The Debian Social Contract in its point 4 says: *4.- Our priorities are our users and free software * Only a few users doesn't like this behaviour. If you install the built module is in order to use it. And if you install it in a chroot, again, I supose you are going to use it. If you want to debug or other things, then this package is not for you. > Another use case is installation of module binary package in a live debian cd > chroot, automatic modprobe of module makes no sense in the build chroot. > > Unconditional modprobe of out of tree kernel drivers does not scale to all > possible uses of the module source package, so I could only plead with you > that you could change your mind about this cheap, one-time executed, small > piece of code. > It does not scale to all possible uses, but it do it for most users. > Thanks, Kel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
