"alias foo bar // install foo ..." - which takes priority?), but aliases that lead to install commands like this is OK. If not, it's a bug. The other possible solution is for /etc/hotplug.d/blacklist to contain "install xxx /bin/false // install yyy /bin/true // include /etc/modprobe.d" and have hotplug invoke modprobe with --config=/etc/hotplug.d/blacklist. Substitute names to fit. Now, should install commands in included files override install commands in earlier files? Again, undefined, but currently they do: in the above model maybe they shouldn't? We can nail it down either way...
