A few notes, more or less in order:

(1)     I realised that the 2004.05.06 snapshot that I previously reported
         on had the modules for SATA & TV loaded not because d-i recognized
         the related hardware, but because these modules are/were somehow
         compiled into the kernel (?!?) used by the snapsot (kernel 2.6.5).

(2)     I also realised that I could not force the "tuner" module to see
         the tuner as a "type=2" (Philips NTSC) because the module was part
         of the kernel.  No wonder how I configured the module parameters
         (i.e. "type=2 debug=1") the module would _litterally_ refuse this
         information and stay as a type=19 (Temic PAL). Here is an example
         of boot messages dished out by the 2.6.5 kernel et al used by
         snapshot 2004.05.06 as an illustration of the annoying
         auto-config behaviour of these modules:

         (...)

         (...)

(3.1)   Once I understood what was going on and would have to load the
         proper module(s) manually, things suddently made sense.  After
         downloading the latest D-I snapshot, I first had the module
         load via /etc/modules. I then realised that "bttv" would load
         "tuner" automatically, so it became clear the post-install
         statement in /etc/modutils was/is superfluous and would only
         generate error/warning messages in dmesg (nothing major) like
         what you see below:

(3.2)   I then commented out the statements in /etc/modutils/actions
         and left only one active statement in /etc/modutils/bttv,
         where I specified the card type (better safe than sorry) and
         the tuner type (see information earlier in this report). Once
         this was done, all required modules were properly configured.

(3.3.)  To have the /dev/video* device files created, I installed
         xawtv before installing kdetv (I could have done an mknod but
         I was lazy).

(4)     After getting over the hurdle of getting the "tuner" module
         to behave the way I needed to do, the rest was easy. Whatever
         D-I 2004.05.22 missed (i.e., the tv card and the SATA
         controller), I added to /etc/modules  (i.e. "bttv" and
         "sata_via").
         I think those two items are the last ones I see D-I failing
         on, as the rest of the h/w seems ok. Considering this SATA
         controller is already known to kernel and Debian developpers,
         as well as my very ordinary ATI TV Wonder VE, I am surprised
         this hardware is not picked up by D-I, as it works fine
         after I add it manually to the system's configuration.

(5)     What I went through makes me believe strongly that to
         facilitate control of modules they should not be compiled
         into the kernel (or however it was arranged in d-i 20040506).
         All modules besides basic ones should be external to the
         kernel and be "callable" only via /etc/modules so that
         passing of options (via /etc/modutils/[filename]) can
         work.

(6)     I wonder if it is the job of D-I to configure the local
         broadcasting norm and tuner type or if this should be
         done by the end-user when he/she starts his/her tv-viewing
         app for the first time.  My first reaction would be D-I,
         as Joe Sixpack usually has no clue what NTSC, PAL or any
         other norm is.  To them, they are just dealing with the
         "tv" and that's it.  Though I think they can understand
         selecting between cable or antenna input, so this could
         be left to the TV app.
