I just discovered I do not have linux-restricted-modules installed, but my kernel's version of that package is installed. Just a note to avoid any confusion.

I have the following :

$ apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-20-generic
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-20-generic:
  Installed: 2.6.24.14-20.46
  Candidate: 2.6.24.14-20.46
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.24.14-20.46 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ apt-cache policy kubuntu-restricted-extras
kubuntu-restricted-extras:

Just installed the linux-restricted-modules package as well (appears to be a metapackage) :

$ apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules
linux-restricted-modules:
  Installed: 2.6.24.21.23
  Candidate: 2.6.24.21.23
  Version table:
