Not that I know of. The control file fields are described here: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-pol...rolfields.html
A workaround could be to install the conflicting files in /usr/local, and set /usr/local/{bin,sbin} first in the PATH in your .profile file.
Another workaround could be to call your file modprobe.new, and include a post-inst script which renames the old one and either symlinks or renames the new one (symlink is probably better), and a postrm (or prerm) script which does the opposite.
(BTW I though the reason modprobe (the installed one) didn't work was because of a missing depmod? Which, IIRC, needs Perl to work? Something like that?)

I wasn't aware of any perl dependency, but thus far, it all works well. I experimented with nfs and smbfs. An initial depmod was required for modules.dep creation.
Code:
root@Nokia-N800-44-4 /root # modprobe nfs root@Nokia-N800-44-4 /root # modprobe smbfs root@Nokia-N800-44-4 /root # lsmod Module Size Used by smbfs 64092 0 - Live 0xbf0a8000 nfs 122464 0 - Live 0xbf089000 lockd 63992 1 nfs, Live 0xbf078000 sunrpc 158648 2 nfs,lockd, Live 0xbf050000 ext3 107304 2 - Live 0xbf0d2000 jbd 51592 1 ext3, Live 0xbf0c4000 mbcache 7108 1 ext3, Live 0xbf0c1000 g_file_storage 27560 0 - Live 0xbf0b9000 cx3110x 56200 0 - Live 0xbf041000 umac 258788 1 cx3110x, Live 0xbf000000 (P)

Is there a way to create the control file so dpkg or apt does this automatically?
