Sorry, my typo here:

On redhats:

  sed -i '/ztdummy/d' /etc/modprobe.conf

On Debians and probably most others:
  
  sed -i '/ztdummy/d' /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel

Basically: delete the line that runs 'ztcfg' automatically after the
modprobe of ztdummy. While for "real" hardware modules there is some
point in rnning this (and I still wouldn't recommend it), for zaptel,
ztdynamic, ztdummy and xpp_usb this is totally pointless and has indeed 
been removed  in the SVN versions.
