module-init-tools in sarge is 3.1-pre5. Maybe it has something to do
with the older version, or maybe you need this if you use udev or
something else. I haven't really looked around for info on the subject
but in any case I don't need it and that means with a somewhat typical
setup it shouldn't be required (I never pull any fancy stuff and I
have hardly ever messed with my modules config)
