The only case where this could perhaps brake would be on old versions
of module-init-tools (<< 3.1, exact version can be determined from the
module-init-tools changelog) since these used /etc/modprobe.conf. But
this could be solved with a versioned dependency.
The thing about this whole code is that it was definetly needed when
modconf was used by boot-floppies (the $Target prefix was not equal ""
in this case). Don't know if anyone is still using the --target option
today...
