Bug#363292: debian-installer: strange /etc/modules generated

[Fabian Fagerholm <fabbe@paniq.net>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

Daily image used: 16 April 2006.

After installation (which went *really* nicely, thanks for that :) 
/etc/modules had the following contents:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

ide-cd.load
ide-disk.load
ide-generic.load
psmouse.load
sbp2.load


What is the .load suffix? It seems to cause complaints during boot.
