I'd like to append here some experiment that I made.
I wrote a file with all modules that I wanted to blacklist:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-gadgets.conf
# Superfluous stuff
blacklist parport
blacklist lp
blacklist joydev
blacklist firewire_core
blacklist firewire_sbp2
# EOF
Then I ran 'sudo update-initramfs -u', rebooted and some modules were
loaded again: parport and lp. I have no idea, since the port is already
disabled at BIOS and the other three modules weren't loaded.
$ dmesg | grep lp:
[ 22.345235] lp: driver loaded but no devices found
