Bug#650588: debian-installer-6.0-netboot-powerpc: sound not working out of the box on iMac G5 20 inch

I downloaded the latest netboot image for powerpc64 (30.11.2011). I installed
Debian Wheezy successfully and after reboot I was presented with Wheezy without
sound. To get sound working I added the following kernel modules in
/etc/modules to make sound work:

snd_aoa_i2sbus
snd_aoa_fabric_layout
snd_aoa_codec_tas
snd_aoa_codec_onyx

After clicking Headphone and unmuting sound in GNOME ALSA Mixer I had perfect
sound.

It would be nice if the debian-installer would install these kernel modules in
/etc/modules automatically.
