Very good. We should have done this a long time ago, I think that all
the distributions out there were patching sensors-detect that way.

I would go even further:

* We can probably drop support for /etc/conf.modules entirely?

* If both /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modules.conf are present, it is
likely that /etc/modprobe.conf should be used, so I we should test it
first.

* If neither file is found, the default could depend on the kernel
version. Defaulting to /etc/modules.conf for a 2.6 kernel-based system
is rather unlikely to be correct.
