Hello,

     The following change has been committed for this bug by
 Giuseppe Iuculano <giuseppe@iuculano.it> on Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:13:49 +0200.
 The fix will be in the next upload. 
=========================================================================
debian/patches/15_modprobe.patch: Do not install /etc/modprobe.d/dkms, it only contains comments and is opened and parsed every time modprobe is run (and it is run very often at boot time). Use instead (and create if necessary) /etc/modprobe.d/package_name.conf. (Closes: #525379)
