Hmm, it not a problem. Add alias:

   alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc

and all is fine:

parport_probe           3076   0  (autoclean)
parport_pc              5748   1  (autoclean)
lp                      5180   0  (autoclean)
parport                 7508   1  (autoclean) [parport_probe parport_pc lp]
