It seems that modutils and module-init-tools are duplicating most of the work. Both of them do some check as of the kernel's ability to load modules, module-init-tools also checks for /proc/modules. Then both run depmod, modutils does a bit more work at it. Next both of them load all the modules in /etc/modules and check about modules in /boot. Is this redundant work on purpose, or is it a bug, since there is no problem installing both packages together, which causes a bunch of module already in the kernel errors on startup.
