Hmm, that's not good to hear, given the outcome of 294867: it appears that the de4x5 module should be removed from the kernel build altogether. Not before sarge of course, but hotplug has already been changed to always use the tulip module instead -- this could make for some irritating bugs if d-i uses a different module than the one hotplug loads for stage 2, no? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
