Well, the important part of my question was: "Would it be possible to detect the
hardware of each computer being installed on and after that install the needed

Where the modules are located is very much under discussion here and on debian-
devel, see the "support for merged /usr in Debian" thread there. This is another
issue that could be discussed elsewhere here.
