Are you sure? From /usr/share/doc/modutils/README.Debian.gz:
% * Automatic unloading of modules is no longer done by kerneld. Instead
% we use a new little daemon called modclean.
but, from /usr/share/doc/modutils/changelog.Debian.gz:
% modutils (2.3.11-6)...
%
% * Don't install modclean anymore. It worked, but the current
% implementation ignores post and pre-remove commands in modules.conf.
% Upstream plans to have a proper solution for 2.3.12 instead.
So, it seems we have no autoclean for kernel modules on Potato.
