Due to bug #517130, linux-modules-extra-2.6 must be removed. linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 does not suffer the same licence compliance issue, but it is extremely fragile since proprietary drivers are often not updated for new kernel versions. The kernel team will shortly be requesting its removal as well. If you want to continue having modules auto-built, we recommend that you consider integrating with DKMS. You can trigger a build on installation or upgrade of the module source. The dkms package then automatically rebuilds installed module sources when a new kernel version is installed. Why DKMS and not module-assistant? Your packages presumably already work with m-a, but m-a doesn't automatically rebuild modules on upgrade. Also, DKMS is supported by other distributions, so many out-of-tree module sources already include the necessary configuration file.
