They are wherever the upstream webmin installation script puts them. I'll check, and if not in the proper place, will put them in the proper place. However, Debian's Webmin on installation gave me a message noticing that there was a previous Webin installation. Surely it's smart enough then, to move any modules where they should be, or at the very least, inform the user where they should go.

I had no issues with it. I'll see if the modules being in the wrong place is the issue and report back.
