As the original author, I looked over the package, and yes ,it doesn't
make it clear why it exists. It is indeed there to be run as soon as
possible so that USB keyboards can be used; it must be as small as
possible to fit in initrds (for floppies and the 2MB limit on isofs)
, hence discover is not an option at this point.
However, it would be better if the list of USB modules was taken from
the maintained discover[2] package automatically rather than built by
hand.
