I tried to find a way to do this as well (using pre-install hooks),
but eventually gave up. (I'm not convinced that there isn't a way to
do it, but the dependencies are very nasty; I kept running into
recursive modprobe invocations.)
Just create an /etc/rc.modules file (mode 0700 or 0755), and put these
lines in it:
#! /bin/sh
/sbin/modprobe cryptoloop cipher-aes
That way, the cryptoloop and cipher-aes modules will be loaded every
time your machine boots (from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit).
