Removal of module should not render the system unusable, because you can
always log-in with password if the reader does not work for one reason o
another. Getting back to scriptlets: you mean that I should add depmod
-a on %post and depmod -e on %preun? I would like the upgrade to be as
painless for users as possible, and as there is no easy way to give them
a message like "add uinput to modprobe.conf", they could be a bit
surprised when swiping will cease to work for them.
