Right, this was an intentional change.  From the kernel changelog,
regarding modules to be included in the installer:

  * udeb: Remove obsolete and unsupported drivers and filesystems
    - Remove ppa from scsi-modules
    - Remove floppy-modules, irda-modules, parport-modules, plip-modules,
      qnx4-modules, reiserfs-modules, ufs-modules
