Um. Curious. Why do you think this bug deserves to be serious? Yes we fail to declare dependency on modprobe|kmod, but any system which runs qemu will, with 99.9% chances, have it installed anyway, so at least for 99.9% cases of users this is not a problem at all.. > The init script that is called from postinst tries to load modules via > modprobe.

Now, I'm not sure how to solve this, because you have a usage case which is apparently not something I'm familiar with. Do you want us to depend on kmod, or do you think we should check modprobe presence in initscript instead, and omit module loading if modprobe isn't found?
