The whole "hotplug" package is almost dead, as nobody needs to parse *.map files these days to load a module. The kernel exports the MODALIAS string in sysfs and the event environment, which can be natively handled by modprobe. No need for _any_ magic script. The remaining part of the "hotplug" package is mostly converted to udev rules. We are currently working on getting rid of the coldplug *.rc scripts as well.
