$ emerge info
<snip>
System uname: 2.6.4-wolk2.3 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz
Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13p1

$ type update-modules
update-modules is /sbin/update-modules
$ type generate-modprobe.conf
generate-modprobe.conf is hashed (/sbin/generate-modprobe.conf)

So not Debian specific, though there is no man page on my machine for
