Default Debian modules don't seem to be auto-cleaned

I'm running Debian 3.1, with kernel 2.6.8. I noticed that "lsmod"
displays lots and lots of unused and never-used modules. None of them
are marked with "autoclean" like I remember seeing on other
distributions. The "lsmod" and "modprobe" man pages don't seem to
have the old "-k" options anymore.

Is there anyway on this system to autoclean modules, or is that a
deprecated command? I'm not a Debian expert, so I don't know if the
change is due to Debian or due to 2.6 kernels.
