Googling, it looks like kmod is the replacement for module-init-tools,
so it should just work, unless of course any packages explicitly
depend on module-init-tools instead of the virtual...
However, module-init-tools is part of system profile and I get the
scary red text and 10-second countdown when I try to unmerge, so I
chickened out and did a ctrl-c. :)
Have any of you already changed from module-init-tools to kmod?
Anything to be afraid of? It's a remote machine and I can boot rescue
CD if it breaks, but I'd rather not have to do that.
