There is /etc/modules.conf for loading modules.

Hardware is constant, it doesn't make sense to check for changes on each boot. In fact, it is even annoying.

Please disable discover after installation. It would even better to remove the package.

Changes:
 discover1 (1.7.22) unstable; urgency=low  .

• Change init.d script to not depend on $local_fs.
• Don't install the init-script and remove it on existing installations. Systems like udev which check the content of /lib/modules/ does a better job loading kernel modules. (Closes: #235107, 387322)
• Strip [a-z] from version number when checking if configure script is updated. Patch from Ubuntu.
• Drop unused directories /var/lib/discover and usr/sbin from the discover1 package.
• Convert debian/copyright from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
• Update Standards-Version from 3.7.2 to 3.7.3. No change needed.
• Replace variable ${Source-Version} with ${binary:Version} to depend on the correct package.
