Modprobe issues a warning like this:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/no-speaker, it
will be ignored in a future release.
The meaning of this message wasn't clear to be until I asked on
#debian-devel. My original understanding of it was that /etc/modprobe.d
is being deprecated, not that every files should have .conf extension.
It might be better to rephrase the error message to something like:
All configuration files under /etc/modprobe.d should have .conf
extension; otherwise they will be ignored in a future release.
Thanks.

I believe it to be clear enough.
If you want to further argue this, please do so with the upstream
