That doesn't sound right. If it was there before upgrading (and it
should be because it belongs to a required package in base) it should be
there afterwards. I take it you have tried something like `locate
modprobe' to see if it is on your system.

copernicus:$ dpkg -S modprobe
modutils: /usr/share/man/man8/modprobe.8.gz
modutils: /sbin/modprobe
You want the modutils package.
apt-get install modutils or download it and do dpkg -i <package>.

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages doesn't appear to have any
knowledge of this file so I cannot help here.

Something breaks or doesn't function as you expect might be an indication.
