Until few minutes ago, I was stumbling on the same error message during boot, in the way that you describe. Prompted by your post I set out to fix it and the message is now gone. But I cannot tell that I understand myself what was causing it. All I did was update /etc/init.d/boot and /etc/conf.modules from their corresponding *dpkg-dist files. Do the same and you will shall live happily ever after.
