Yes, things have changed since kernels > 2.5.
>From /usr/share/doc/modutils/README.Debian.gz:

"If you are using 2.6 kernels, you need to install the
module-init-tools package, modutils is not for you, see
Documentation/Changes in the 2.6 kernel tree.  Some other
distributions merge modutils and module-init-tools into a single
package and call it modutils, however, in Debian, we have a modutils
package (for < 2.5 kernels) and a module-init-tools package (for >2.5
kernels)."

So if you don't use old kernels anymore you can safely purge the
modutils package.
