Bug#474964: Loads pcspkr and others even if explicitely excluded in modprobe.conf

Quoting from modprobe.conf(5):

   /etc/modprobe.conf (or, if that does not exist, all
   files under the /etc/modprobe.d directory) specifies those options,
   as required.

So if is not read any more there is at least a bug in the docs.  I also
would expect a NEWS.Debian that should give a hint to the changed behaviour.

Adding

   alias pcspkr       off

to /etc/modprobe.d/sound neither does work.  So the problem seems to be
there anyway.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
