debootstrap doesn't install it, so what do you mean with this?

I'm interested in a more generic way to prevent modules from being
loaded.
We have achieved a long part of the way towards a universal stock kernel
image with modules for most setups without the need for manual kernel
configuration/compilation. But sometimes I need to prevent modules from
being loaded. E.g. for debugging sessions: Checking bug reports /
problems without specific subsystems/modules.
Even if it would work, a situation where I need to configure this in 3
different places violates the SPOT rule [1].
Thanks for considering.
