After sighting an error in my bootup screen urging met to # update-modules --force * Updating modules.conf ... [ ok ] * Updating modules.dep ... [ ok ] * Please file a bug about /etc/modules.d/rt2500: it needs an /etc/modprobe.d/rt2500 * Please file a bug about /etc/modules.d/usb: it needs an /etc/modprobe.d/usb * Updating modprobe.conf by hand ... I was a nice guy and did what was asked (filing a bug; and a separate one for the other line).

Which package does own that file? > Does anybody else have this file there? Perhaps it's just some leftover from earlier times. # cat /etc/modules.d/usb #options usbhid mousepolling=1 So it contains more-or-less nothing, given there is only one commented-out line. Would it hurt to rm the file and see what happens?
If it contains nothing, or just comments, then just delete it and nothing bad will happen. Marking invalid, as no packages seem to be concerned.
