We could maintain a list of modules for which a matching package has been found and installed, and decide to skip mountmedia call(s) if a package has been installed for each and every requesting module. This wouldn't help in the “what about a possible higher version of an existing package” use case, but it would be better for users of exotic¹ hardware than axing the mountmedia call(s) altogether.
