The newer file name is switched and called conf.modules but the kernel
module loader will look for both.

Finally, for the "purists":
You can name the modprobe configuration either "/etc/conf.modules" or
"/etc/modules.conf", since modprobe knows what to do in each case...

The debian way is to make a file in /etc/modutils named anything you
want and put in it the lines that you want to assemble in
/etc/conf.modules. So make a file called for example cdrom and put the
above lines in it. Then execute the command update-modules and it will
create the /etc/conf.modules from all the files in /etc/modutils. See
the man page for update-modules.
