Heh. Wow. You're right, it is. I was being stupid and meant to say 

ln -s /etc/modprobe.conf/ /lib/modules/

Which would result in a symlink at /lib/modules/modprobe.conf to
/etc/modprobe.conf

I have no clue if that would have solved the problem though, so I'm glad
someone more knowledgeable with debian than I stepped in :-)
