It's not up to us, as d-i team, to decide about modules if they
provide or not something useful ... if it gets loaded on installed
system and it does affect the installation (as this does) I think we
ought to include it.
Otherwise, an option is to ask for kernel team to disable it on kernel
but if it's not going to be done (and I agree in it not being done) we
ought to not conflict with installed system.
