I expect not. But they allow masquerading, NAT, etc, as well as direct
rules in their tables, so they expect that it can be used as a

What we have is:
Install the modules, if the kernel configuration uses them:
make modules_install
Perhaps a simple rewording to:
Install the modules, unless module support has been disabled in the
kernel configuration:
Or reversing:
Unless module support has been disabled in the kernel configuration,
install the modules with:
I like the second better.
OK, done.
