Ok, this is normal since it is an d-i .udeb, not a normal debian package
?

ARG, what are you trying to do ? Installing those modules on your woody
system ? What kernel are you running on it anyway ?
In any case those module .udebs, as the message says, are intented
solely for debian-installer (or for other purpose maybe, but in those
case you would know about it), and not to install in a running system.
The 2.6.7 kernels those are based upon are part of the
kernel-image-2.6.7-powerpc package, actually available in unstable, and
hopefully available in sarge for tuesday/wednesday. Actually the above
mentioned .udebs are extracted from the kernel-image package in the
first place to build the debian-installer initrd.
I don't think there are any woody backport of those, altough you could try
for them, or even try to install the unstable packages in your woody system,
but you would need initrd-tools and module-init-tools at least to make it work.
Hope this is helpfull.
