I don't think so. Standard aliases that are generated out of the
kernel are not a problem. But expecting modutils to select different
aliases based on which user space package is being used is a problem.
Policy settings are the user's responsibility. It does not help when
kernel developers insist on renaming modules without telling anyone,
modutils will always be out of date compared to kernel changes.
