I'm not sure what to do so I went ahead and filed a bug report. It
doesn't make
sense to me.  It might just be an oversight as the package is not in the
stable archive. I tried to install the pcmcia-modules-2.1.19-2
I found in  unstable and it doesn't work. I'm using 2.2.17 until this is
resolved or I compile them myself.
