aptitude shouldn't remove unused linux-restricted-modules* packages

Bug Description

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05aptitude has a regex that keeps aptitude from removing unused kernels and I think the regex should be extended so that the corresponding restricted modules packages are also kept. Without restricted modules, some people would be left with no network or broken video.

It works for me with the new 2.6.15-20-386 kernel and restricted modules.
