modutils and module-init-tools duplicating work

[Micha Feigin <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

It seems that modutils and module-init-tools are duplicating most of the
work.
Both of them do some check as of the kernel's ability to load modules,
module-init-tools also checks for /proc/modules.
Then both run depmod, modutils does a bit more work at it.
Next both of them load all the modules in /etc/modules and check about
modules in /boot.
Is this redundant work on purpose, or is it a bug, since there is no
problem installing both packages together, which causes a bunch of
module already in the kernel errors on startup.
