The upstream maintainers decided that in the future the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ will be processed only if they have a .conf suffix. The latest module-init-tool release complains loudly for each one and still processes them, but this will change. Please update your packages at the time of your next upload and remember that the files in this directory are opened and parsed every time modprobe is run (and it is run very often at boot time!), so try to look at the big picture and install a file there only if it is really needed. Do not install a file if it only contains comments, if it is only useful for some unusual environment or if it not needed for recent kernels (nowadays most drivers have their own aliases built in, check /lib/modules/$KVER/modules.alias). The packages affected are: etc/modprobe.d/aliases admin/module-init-tools etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base sound/alsa-base etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist sound/alsa-base etc/modprobe.d/blacklist admin/udev etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-berry_charge utils/barry-util etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-capiutils net/capiutils etc/modprobe.d/display_class admin/udev etc/modprobe.d/eeepc utils/eeepc-acpi-scripts etc/modprobe.d/gpib science/libgpib-bin etc/modprobe.d/hostap-utils net/hostap-utils etc/modprobe.d/i2c utils/lm-sensors etc/modprobe.d/kqemu misc/kqemu-common etc/modprobe.d/libphidgets0 libs/libphidgets0 etc/modprobe.d/libpisock9 libs/libpisock9 etc/modprobe.d/libsane libs/libsane etc/modprobe.d/madwifi contrib/net/madwifi-tools etc/modprobe.d/mt-st admin/mt-st etc/modprobe.d/mwave non-free/utils/mwavem etc/modprobe.d/nbd-client admin/nbd-client etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc contrib/x11/nvidia-kernel-common etc/modprobe.d/pnp-hotplug admin/udev etc/modprobe.d/rng-tools utils/rng-tools etc/modprobe.d/rt73 contrib/net/rt73-common etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.modutils non-free/misc/sl-modem-daemon etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.modprobe admin/acpi-support etc/modprobe.d/toshset utils/toshset etc/modprobe.d/toshutils utils/toshutils etc/modprobe.d/vmxnet contrib/admin/open-vm-tools -- ciao, Marco
