So depending on ethernet-card-detection should allow modprobe to work
properly, right?
I am quite sure that ppp-udeb had this failure when its postinst was
ran because at some time during my tests modprobing pppoe failed even
if ethernet-card-detection was a dependency since I started to modify
it (initially it depended on configured-network).
modify it = modify ppp-udeb
