Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.17.dfsg-4

Hello,

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base contains two `install snd' lines:
        # Cause optional modules to be loaded above generic modules
        install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe 
--quiet snd-ioctl32 ; : ; }
        install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe 
--quiet snd-seq ; }
        #

The `install' behaviour of modprobe.conf-files isn't really well
documented. However, while looking through modprobe.c you can see that
only the last `install' line for a given module is executed.
Thus, it would make more sense to put those both lines together like
        install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe 
--quiet snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq ; }

Feel free to escalate this bug to module-init-tools for a better
documentation of the `install' config directive.


regards
   Mario
