That seems way too complicated. What's wrong with just conflicting like normal? Can you think of any standard case where these conflicts are going to hurt us?
Which packages contain drm.ko?
kernel26
So then simply putting this one in the updates directory should be enough, right?
I haven't seen any problem so far with the module in extra. It has been always loaded first. I can't imagine a situation where the module in extra could cause an issue. You usually use drm only with one graphic card driver. But I'll read around a bit how kernel modules get loaded and how other distributions do this. Building a drm-git providing _all_ possible drm modules is much more than we want here. Putting it into extra or update path should be enough here. I'll try to find out what's the recommended/best way we should go. -Andy
