Actually, the file I referenced is used by the update-modules script to build /etc/modules.conf. If such a line were added directly to modules.conf installing a kernel via dpkg/apt-get would break things. FWIW modconf manages entries to /etc/modules, but you can add entries with a text editor and they won't be overwritten.
