Bug report #1031259 vs ddcutil 1.4.1-1 suggests installing files in /usr/lib/modules-load.d to ensure that driver i2c-dev is loaded at system startup, avoiding the possible need for user configuration after package installation. The change was made in the upstream source, and ddcutil 1.4.2-1 was uploaded to mentors on 2023-02-22. The package sponsor, Andrey Rakhmatullin, has suggested that a pre-approval request be submitted at this point before uploading from mentors to sid. The change consists of 2 new files installed into /usr/lib/modules-load.d, an updated Changelog.md file, along with modified DEBIAN/changelog, DEBIAN/ddcutil.install, DEBIAN/libddcutil4.install, and updates to relevant Autotools files.
If you would have used reportbug against the release.debian.org package, these suggestions would have been in the template below (and the user tag would have been set correctly). Can you please fill in the parts you haven't covered yet?
I'm not sure I like the proposed change in behavior at this stage of the release, particularly because there's no other package shipping files in /usr/lib/modules-load.d (according to a quick search). Can you comment on that?

[ Reason ] (Explain what the reason for the unblock request is.) [ Impact ] (What is the impact for the user if the unblock isn't granted?) [ Tests ] (What automated or manual tests cover the affected code?) [ Risks ] (Discussion of the risks involved. E.g. code is trivial or complex, key package vs leaf package, alternatives available.) [ Checklist ] [ ] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [ ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] (Anything else the release team should know.)
