This really is total nonsense.
It's in /lib/modules/<kvers>/kernel/drivers/ide/pci/ and is present for
both the Etch and Lenny installer.

Stable updates are not likely to change anything major. If you really want
to try an updated image, either use the daily built images from [1] and
install lenny, or use an "etchnhalf" image [2] which installs etch, but
uses a newer kernel.
