I think you might be confusing /etc/modules-load.d/ (names of modules
to load statically) with /etc/modprobe.d/ (and the old /etc/modutils/*)
which has options, and aliases for autoloading modules.

I find /etc/modules is the easiest place to put the names (just the
name, one per line) of any modules you want loading permanently. This
location should work for wheezy too.

Cheers,
David.
