While I agree that an error has been made (error checking in
init-scripts), this is not a show stopper.  I wouldn't think that it
would be difficult to write a quick fix for this and submit.  Linux is
open source/community with many patches and bug fixes submitted from
around the world.  Why not contribute to the community?  Everybody would
appreciate it; myself found this bug a while ago and blew it off.  I
just modified the init-scripts to load the appropriate modules.
