thanks
The problem here seems to reside in the Module-HOWTO file which is used to
extract the information on wether modules use (or don't) parameters. It
says:
______________________________________________________________________
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe loop.o
No module parameters.
______________________________________________________________________
Which is clearly wrong. Should the Module-HOWTO.gz file be fixed or should
the fix be introduced in mkdescr.pl ?
If in Module-HOWTO the following would looks like it needs to be changed:

PS: Shouldn't an alternative (Debian-specific) file be used for this as a
complement to the HOWTO? It looks like Module-HOWTO is no longer updated
upstream and this package depends on it being updated...
