Put this one /etc/modprobe.d/bougs.conf:
alias psmouse deaddood
`modprobe --show-depends --quiet psmouse` explodes in an assertion
(unless you have a module named deaddood). Some people and initrd's use
"alias psmouse off" to disable a module instead of blacklisting it or
adding a install rule.
Add a test with expected_fail == true before fixing this.
This loop is similar to the one that comes with install rules of
alsa-utils package. It can be easily verified by reverting commit
abd5557 and running the testsuite.
