Seems a bit strange to me.
It's strange indeed; it has come up before, and because the default Debian 2.1 install comes with 2.0.36, which doesn't support the /proc/bus/pci interface of the 2.2 kernels (the interface that pciutils uses) it might have been better to not to include that call to lspci. -Remco
