Yes, I intentionally changed their names to include the string
"-modules-", mostly so that they match the names of the actual
module packages but also in preparation for inclusion of loop-AES
in linux-modules-extra-2.6 in the future - which builds meta
packages named "$foo-modules-$kvers". When I changed them I though
about retaining the old meta packages but considered it not so
important since the binary modules of loop-AES only existed in
testing and unstable until now. 

cheers,
Max
