I don't believe it should.  There are times when I want a module available
but don't necessarily want to load the module all the time.  Also, the
"/etc/modules" file is a Debian creation.  Other distrbutions don't have a
/etc/modules file, at least the last time I checked.  RedHat and Slackware
seem to stick modules to load in some "rc.*" file, from what I recall.

Changing "make module_install" to overwrite /etc/modules is a bad idea, I 
think.  I would prefer that the "make modules_install" behavior remain
unaltered.

My $0.02  :)
