deb-preinst(5) dpkg suite deb-preinst(5)NAME
deb-preinst - package pre-installation maintainer script
SYNOPSIS
preinst
DESCRIPTION
A package can perform several pre-installation actions via maintainer scripts, by including an executable preinst file in its control
archive (i.e. DEBIAN/preinst during package creation).
The script can be called in the following ways:
new-preinst install
Before the package is installed.
new-preinst install old-version new-version
Before removed package is upgraded.
new-preinst upgrade old-version new-version
Before the package is upgraded.
old-preinst abort-upgrade new-version
If postrm fails during upgrade or fails on failed upgrade.

DH_INSTALLMODULES(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLMODULES(1)NAME
dh_installmodules - register kernel modules
SYNOPSIS
dh_installmodules [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--name=name]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering kernel modules.
Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if found, preinst, postinst and postrm commands are automatically
generated to run depmod and register the modules when the package is installed. These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by
dh_installdeb(1).
FILES
debian/package.modprobe
Installed to etc/modprobe.d/package.conf in the package build directory.
OPTIONS -n, --no-scripts
Do not modify preinst/postinst/postrm scripts.
--name=name
When this parameter is used, dh_installmodules looks for and installs files named debian/package.name.modprobe instead of the usual
debian/package.modprobe
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
SEE ALSO debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.

For any SunOS 5.XX release, it appears prior to the "login:" prompt (as if a "uname" command is run).
Would anyone know where that initial display of SunOS release comes from upon a remote login and how I can stop if from displaying?
