The g_ether kernel module, in the kernel-module-g-ether package, allows

not useful until the module is loaded.
The usbinit package provides the /etc/init.d/usb-gether script to load
the g_ether module at boot, so it should be included along with
kernel-module-g-ether.
So if the g-ether kernel module is built-in to the kernel, the
kernel-module-g-ether will not be installed (as it's RRECOMMENDS). The
usbinit package still will be (unless for some reason it can't be built
for the target).
I assume this doesn't pose a problem?
Well, hmm, I don't know. The usb-gether script is not very intelligent,
so I suppose that would result in yet another boot time error message.
Perhaps testing the result of 'modinfo g_ether' in the script would be a
good follow-up patch?
