Not on Debian. What happens is every time you run "update-modules"
the /etc/modules.conf file gets overwritten. Any changes you make are
lost. The way update-modules works is it concatenates all the files
found under /etc/modutils together and writes them to
/etc/modules.conf (with some comments, etc). Pick any file you want
(even create your own) under /etc/modutils and then run update-modules
and it will work fine. You are right, however, that if you don't run
update-modules you won't see any change (updates). Also, if you (and
every package, etc, on your system) never runs update-modules then you
can edit /etc/modules.conf directly.
