You do not need it.

/etc/modutils/aliases is the file you need to look at. That and 
/usr/doc/modutils/module-policy.Debian.gz. Oh, and have a look at 'man 
modules.conf' and 'man update-modules' while you are at it (synopsis: 
debian generates /etc/modules.conf from the files in /etc/modutils/, so 
you need to run update-modules in order for changes there to take effect).

That is only for automatic loading at boot.
