this can be most easily be done using a post-install command, for
example I use on my Toshiba laptop:
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
post-install ircomm-tty modprobe -k irda0
alias irda0 toshoboe
post-install toshoboe irattach irda0 -s
This may seem a bit convoluted, but not doing the modprobe -k irda0
would leave me with a loaded toshoboe without the autoclean flag.

No idea with that one, though.
