I do not want to load it manually, 
it is a usability bug that this internal hardware is not detected
as it was will all pmac kernels I have been used for a long while.

As a user that upgrades I run into that problem.
Debian has a reputation of making upgrades smooth.
Giving some hints to easy that pitfall is user friendly.
