Strange messages when performing "modprobe"

Hi, when I perform a "modprobe", I get the following strange messages:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/rng-tools, it will be ignored in a future release.

It means what it says: the config file need to be renamed in the long run for a future release of module-init-tools. See http://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_236
