It's important to note that, despite my previous response and my
accomodation of the bug request, this is entirely true.

The way discover works, it's theoretically possible that a data update
or override could change the order modules load, or even the specific
modules that load.  The ALSA team is already using this capability of
discover to ensure that ALSA drivers load under 2.4 kernels, despite the
fact that the canonical database reports OSS drivers for 2.4 and
previous.

That said, gratuitous changes to module load order can and should be
prevented, and one such gratuitous change will be fixed with the next
discover update.  But if order is that critical to your system, I
recommend using /etc/modules to load them manually.  (Indeed, I do this
myself on one of my own systems.)
