I tried that, and it would be feasible for installer, but the problem is,
aliases do not work with hotplug anymore in Rusty's module-init-tools.
They used to work with Keith's modutils. The reason is that Rusty's
modprobe only expands aliases once (he did not want to implement
loop detection). But modern kernels use a wildcard string to identify
a module. This string is matched with the use of an alias mechanism,
so a second match won't happen.
