That's one way in which Debian is user-friendly.  I have no idea what a
module is, or why it should be difficult to keep different modules
compatible.  But I don't need to know.  Typing in "apt-get install
whatever" usually gets me what I want, even though I don't have much of
an idea of how it works.
