I suspected there was no such real thing as an out-of-tree Pango
module, but I was wrong (http://graphite.sil.org/).

Digging quickly into the Debian packaging, they generate the modules
list at build time (not in a postinst) by running pango-querymodules
over the directories they just built, filtering the paths (this
happens in dh_pangomodules).  They also generate a modules list file
per package and ship it, and pango reads the multiple files.  I'm not
sure if this is upstream behaviour or a Debian-specific patch.
