Binary package hint: module-init-tools

After the recent upgrade to the latest version of module-init-tools in
Ubuntu Jaunty, the high-res TTY I had set up using the uvesafb kernel
module (with this addition to the kernel boot commands:
video=uvesafb:mode_option:1680x1050,mtrr:3,scroll:ywrap) stopped working
completely.  In addition to that, this output:

Usage: modprobe [-v] [-V] [-C config-file] [-d <dirname> ] [-n] [-i] [-q] [-b] [-o <modname>] [ --dump-modversions ] <modname> [parameters...]
modprobe -r [-n] [-i] [-v] <modulename> ...
modprobe -l -t <dirname> [ -a <modulename> ...]

appears many times during the kernel boot messages.  It appears several
times at the very beginning, before "Reading files needed to boot..."
It also appears once or twice in the area of "Loading ACPI Modules."
