It would not. You can however include a udeb on your floppy that
installs a prebaseconfig hook script which would run after the base
system is installed, or a base-installer hook script which would run
just before base is installed (or perhaps both), and at that point do
one of these things, in approximate order of difficulty and inverse
order of cleanliness and desirability:
a. copy the module into /target from the d-i system
b. install a .deb of the module into /target from the floppy
c. add something to sources.list for the apt repository you should have
that contains the .deb, and then use apt-install to get it installed
