registering kernel modules with modutils.
Files named debian/package.modules will be installed as
-etc/modutils/package in the package build directory.
+etc/modutils/package in the package build directory. This is for use by
+modutils. Files named debian/package.modprobe will be installed in
+etc/modprobe.d/package in the package build directory, to be used by
+module-init-tools's version of modprobe.
Then postinst and postrm commands are automatically generated to register
the modules when the package is installed. See L<dh_installdeb(1)> for an
explanation of how this works. Note that this will be done for any
