Right, this was an intentional change. From the kernel changelog,
regarding modules to be included in the installer:
* udeb: Remove obsolete and unsupported drivers and filesystems
- Remove ppa from scsi-modules
- Remove floppy-modules, irda-modules, parport-modules, plip-modules,
qnx4-modules, reiserfs-modules, ufs-modules
