IIRC, I have seen this prob in 0.5 already. So I configured a little
workaround into my modules.conf:
	alias parport_lowlevel    parport_pc
	add above parport lp parport_pc parport_probe ieee12844
	post-install ieee12844 modprobe "-k" ieee12844pp
	pre-remove ieee12844 rmmod ieee12844pp

This way everything gets loaded (and removed) using the right
sequence.
