Except, the "correct" way to use modutils IS to use the post-install line,
because unused modules can be set to be periodically removed.
A better solution would be to leave the post-install line and move the
LOADING of awe_wave into /etc/init.d, after all FS' mounted.
Or maybe we need a '/etc/modules.later' or something which would list
modules not necessary for booting. I dunno. =)
