I agree with you, kmod must be fixed to handle that.

BTW, there is another annoying bug: if I don' t add this line:

post-install parport modprobe -k parport_lowlevel

to /etc/conf.modules, parport_pc is not loaded at it should be. This
workaround change also the time when parport_pc is loaded and don' t work
in a configuration of CONFIG_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m and
CONFIG_PRINTER=m.
