The udev package does (but it's src:systemd, so close enough) in
/lib/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf

I don't know the history behind this file though, it predates the
udev/systemd merge and a quick search in the old src:udev package did
not really yield anything useful.

Hopefully Marco can chime in here and provide some context why it was
added and if it's still required thoday.

Regards,
Michael
