No, Im asking to have _one_ delay at a defined point instead of X
packages having a delay because they might have to run depmod manualy.
And the delay will be small on any modern system. True it will take a
few seconds to run but then the module inodes are in cache and the
discover run that loads all the modules will be that much quicker. How
much time is actualy lost for a complete boot?
