Modprobe issues a warning like this:

    WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/no-speaker, it
    will be ignored in a future release.

The meaning of this message wasn't clear to be until I asked on
#debian-devel. My original understanding of it was that /etc/modprobe.d
is being deprecated, not that every files should have .conf extension.

It might be better to rephrase the error message to something like:

    All configuration files under /etc/modprobe.d should have .conf
    extension; otherwise they will be ignored in a future release.

Thanks.
