It is not a module because USB support is built-in:

bjorn@canardo:~$  egrep '^CONFIG_USB(_MON)?=' /boot/config-2.6.26-1-amd64 
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_MON=y

Which means that it is available by default:

bjorn@canardo:~$ uname -a
Linux canardo 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 9 14:16:53 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
bjorn@canardo:~$ df /sys/kernel/debug
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
debug                        0         0         0   -  /sys/kernel/debug
bjorn@canardo:~$ ls -ld /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2008-10-17 17:20 /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon
