This was indeed the case. The i2c-parport driver was for testing
evaluation boards and other home-brew electronics, so had a small count
of users, and the driver would always be loaded last anyway, so it was
not a problem in practice. Still I agree with the change as it makes
things cleaner and more flexible.
