Bug#525946: hw-detect: snd-powermac not added to /etc/modules

[Risto Suominen <risto.suominen@gmail.com>]

Ubuntu seems to have solved this with this (reverse) patch to
discover-mac-io.sh:

                done

with the following comment in changelog:

- Reinstate snd-powermac for i2s-a devices since apparently the lock-up
  has been fixed.

Apparently the conclusion is correct: they've had this change in
production since Thu, 27 Nov 2008 17:46:21 +0000. Over 2 years.

Maybe Debian could follow?

Of course, someone with a G5 should test it.
