Hmm the only one I can recall from you is the dependency script in #105698
which I feel isn't generic enough for inclusion. For example it fails to
deal with module aliases which could lead to missing modules.
For now I think it is best left in the BTS for those people looking for it.
The way I'd like to see it dealt with is through using modprobe itself.
It would be ideal if someone can write a dry-run mode for modprobe that
doesn't look at the current list of loaded modules.
