Well, I would turn the question around, and ask why should we hardcode
which modules to load when we can load the needed modules dynamically.
This way the installation will keep working even if some HW is
replaced.

Manually loaded packages should be listed in /etc/modules, no doubt
about that. But they are very few (and I think the modules loaded
manually by ethdetect is listed there).
