+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<dh_installmodules> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-n>] [B<--name=>I<name>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for
+registering kernel modules.
+
+Files named debian/package.modprobe will be installed in
+etc/modprobe.d/package.conf in the package build directory, to be used by
+module-init-tools's version of modprobe.
+
+Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if
+found, postinst and postrm commands are automatically generated to
+run depmod and register the modules when the package is installed.
+These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb.
+See L<dh_installdeb(1)> for an explanation of how this works.
+
+Previous versions of dh_installmodules installed files named
+etc/modprobe.d/package, code is added to the preinst and postinst to
+handle the upgrade from the old location.
+
+Previous versions of dh_installmodules also supported
+files named debian/package.modules, which were installed into
+etc/modutils/package in the package build directory. This was for use by
+modutils, which is no longer in Debian. dh_installmodules will warn about
+such files now.

+
+=item B<-n>, B<--noscripts>

+=head1 NOTES

+Note that this command is not idempotent. L<dh_prep(1)> should be called
+between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
+instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
