Version: Warning upon empty /etc/modprobe.d/
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

when /etc/modprobe.d/ exists but is empty, update-initramfs issues
a warning:

| # update-initramfs  -k all -u
| update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0-1-amd64
| cp: cannot stat '/etc/modprobe.d/*': No such file or directory

Besides cosmetical issues I wonder what happens if there are files that
just are a reminder of dpkg conffile handling, like e.g.

/etc/modprobe.d/pptpd.conf.dpkg-remove

since appearently update-initramfs happily processes them. Which is
probably not the right thing to do.
