No, it should not. Modules should be autoloaded by modprobe and/or
detect/hotplug.

Dialup cannot be supported by the current ppp-udeb package (it lacks at
least a chat binary) and I don't believe supporting a full dialup
netinstall is worth the effort, users probably want to install base
anyway from the 120 MB CD image.

It cannot be supported, all non-ethernet modems need a firmware.

Cannot be supported, we are not using rp-pppoe.
Anyway, currently ppp-udeb should support PPPoE netinstall, but it has
not been tested and I do not know when joeyh plans to integrate the
package.
Either it goes in, or the kernel ppp modules package is removed.
