Lintian tag: file-in-etc-modprobe.d

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

It is recommended to install modprobe files in /usr/lib/modprobe.d instead
of /etc/modprobe.d. If moving a .conf file from the old directory to the
new one, remember to also remove the lingering configuration file under
/etc, possibly using rm_conffile in a .maintscript file as documented in
dh_installdeb(1).

This is done automatically by dh_installmodules starting with
compatibility level 14.
