These two files are quite different in nature. modules.conf is just the 
standard modules.conf detailing configuration of some modules. The modules 
file is Debian specific and contains a list of modules to modprobe (load) at 
boot time.

Between Woody and the testing/unstable kernels there are some differences 
between what drivers are built into the kernel and which are built as 
modules.  Give modconf a go.  It's a user-friendly util for maintaining the 
modules file and provides decent descriptions of what the modules provide.  
It also works with custom kernels.

It seems Holger just beat me to this one ;)

I notice from your earlier email that you got as far trying to build the dvb 
drivers, but you didn't mention what went wrong.  If you give this 
information, people will find it much easier to help you out.
