As I said, it's unclear to me whether it's appropriate for ddcutil
installation to cause module i2c-dev to be loaded automatically. I
agree it would simplify ddcutil installation. I will consult with those
at a higher pay grade.

Maybe, a way this could be done automatically when installing ddcutil?

ddcutil does depend on kernel module i2c-dev. This is extensively
documented. For example, see page Configuration Steps
<https://www.ddcutil.com/config_steps/#kernel-module-i2c-dev> on the
ddcutil web site.
On startup, ddcutil issues the following messages if i2c-dev is not
loaded or built in:
No /dev/i2c devices/exist.
ddcutil requires module i2c-dev.
If that is not the case, it is a bug. Please submit the contents of
directory /dev BEFORE module i2c-dev is loaded.
Or you would like package ddcutil to install a file in
/etc/modules-load.d or /usr/lib/modules-load.d that forces i2c-dev to
be loaded at startup. It is unclear to me whether installing a file
in these directories is appropriate behavior for an application. In
this, I have followed the lead of package i2c-tools, which is a basic
package intimately connected with i2c-dev in that it exercises
i2c-dev and was written by the author (Jon Delvare) of that module.
