If the watchdog package is the only one using these modules that would be fine.
But watchdog itself just expects a device to be present and only insmods a
module if one is manually configured. Other users might use these modules with
the user space daemon package but they still should get the right
configuration, don't you think? Or what am I missing.

How about explaing your problem a little bit better and, if it's really a
failure in watchdog, reporting a bug? What exactly did you do? And how did you
configure watchdog?
