This one time, at band camp, David P James said:
I'm wondering why my modules.conf that I had to edit keeps reverting
back to the previous version every time I reboot; it is really kind of
frustrating. It means that every time I reboot I have to mess around and
reload the ide-scsi module as well as having to load the module for my
soundcard (if I forget to do the latter all manner of nastiness happens
when KDE starts up). It also sends up a flurry of warnings that my
"modules.conf is newer than modules.dep" [I'm thinking - so what if it is?].

Taken from my modules.conf:
### This file is automatically generated by update-modules"
#
# Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add
# anything please take a look at the files in /etc/modutils and read
# the manpage for update-modules.
Seems straightforward enough.
