Package: module-init-tools
Version: 3.2-pre1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The recent modification of /etc/init.d/module-init-tools, the inserted
"KVER_MAJOR=$(kernelversion)" line, breaks all systems without modutils
installed,
since "kernelversion" is a modutils command.
If modutils is not installed (and it not necessarily installed on 2.6 systems),
the script will exit with error without loading the modules,
and the system may not be able to boot up at all. (My box does not.)
So either
a) some other method should be used to determine the kernel version
b) the dependency for modutils should be explicitly stated.
Cheers:

ps. From the changelog:
* Make the init script support > 2.6 kernels too. (Closes: #282584)
==> braeak most 2.6 systems in the process :)
