I think there's a slight misunderstanding here. Yes, dh_installmodules can be used by a *-modules package to install modules. But it can also be used by regular packages to install stuff in /etc/modprobe.d, and *that* is the intent of this bug report. (Unfortunately, most packages don't appear to use dh_installmodules, and manually copy stuff instead. Maybe this will change with the coming modprobe transition[1], which you can just sail through thanks to debhelper. It certainly wouldn't hurt if CDBS were to help.)

However, the lukewarm treatment of this bug report did not inspire me great confidence, so I did not bother seeing this to the end. If you're interested, I'd be glad to pull it back from the moth balls, bring it up to date, and properly document the damn thing.
