Yes, but currently, kmod and other system packages install modprobe
config files in /etc/modprobe.d:
$ rpm -qf /etc/modprobe.d/*
kmod-8-1.mga3
kmod-8-1.mga3
kmod-8-1.mga3
cups-common-1.5.3-5.mga3
kmod-8-1.mga3
kmod-8-1.mga3
sound-scripts-0.62-9.mga3
To be consistent, I moved the nfs-utils file there

Well, system administrators might want to change the default dbus

</I>
It seems it is parsed by kmod, but this doesn not seem to be mentionned
in the doc, and no package owns the dir...
I agree about moving modprobe config file into a system dir, but things
have to be done properly (with doc, proper directory owning, and all
packages doing the same).
