Why modprobe another module when all modules are built-in?
(i.o.w. I don't understand the reason for this bugreport)

  

Because if the modules is not there and modprobe fails then you end up
with an endless loop. Besides all other call in the installer are made
this way.

 Found the culprit : S61mouse-support-x86 is incorrectly written  : it
 does not use -q option for modeprobe not the || true.

Nice job of tracing that!

The installer is not really set up to work with kernels that are
configured totally different from the standard Debian kernels.
