Bug#286001: please consider purging discover1 after installation

It scans the same subsystems. I also tried on four different systems
to boot with and without discover and compared the
lsmod | sort | uniq
output to find not a single difference.
But I do not have a real proof, no.
I agree with you that unless this is proven, discover probably has
to stay. Maybe hotplug could be started before discover, and if
discover finds 0 modules to load, it could disable itself on future
boots or print an appropriate message?
