Actually we (and Mandriva before us) have been using install rules for a
long time like this:
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ahci; /sbin/modprobe ata_piix;
/bin/true
remove sdhci_pci /sbin/modprobe -r mmc_block; /sbin/modprobe
--first-time -r --ignore-remove sdhci_pci
install sdhci_pci /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sdhci_pci
&& { /sbin/modprobe mmc_block; /bin/true; }
remove tifm_7xx1 /sbin/modprobe -r mmc_block; /sbin/modprobe -r tifm_sd;
/sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove tifm_7xx1
install tifm_7xx1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install tifm_7xx1
&& { /sbin/modprobe mmc_block; /sbin/modprobe tifm_sd; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe uhci_hcd;
/bin/true
install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe ide_pci_generic; /sbin/modprobe
ide_generic; /bin/true
And I dont think alias will cope with this...
