When I rebuilt the package in a clean chroot, /usr/share/man/man5/modprobe.d.5.gz disappeared:Feel free to find out why, I do not understand well how the documentation system works.
Manpages can be generated by either docbook-to-man or docbook2man (from the docbook-utils package). Upstream build system prefers the former, but build-dependencies ensures only that the latter is installed.
docbook-to-man seems to work flawlessly. On the other hand, docbook2man infers output filename from content of an SGML file it process; because doc/modprobe.conf.sgml and doc/modprobe.d.sgml are identical, only one file is created (modproble.conf.5).
I see 3 possible ways to fix this bug: 1) sed -i -e s/docbook-utils/docbook-to-man/ debian/control 2) Apply the attached patch. 3) Force modprobe.d.5 to be just a symlink to modprobe.conf.5. -- Jakub Wilk
