If hotplug's installed, the kernel will call it whenever a module is
loaded; and modules are loaded as part of S20modutils. I don't see any way
of avoiding that, or making the actual invocation happen later; the only
control we have afaics is after /sbin/hotplug has actually been invoked.

I don't know. You might want to have the USB stuff still work so that
your USB keyboard module is loaded automatically, if you've got things
setup that way?
I think you could get away with telling people "Hotplug doesn't work
'til after /etc/rcS.d: please specify everything you need during rcS.d
*explicitly*", though. There's nothing hotplug can do that you can't do
by hand.
