I run Debian lenny/sid.  In /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ there are files 
listing the modules that someone might not want loaded.  Since this is a 
usb camera, that's probably where you want to put the file.  The 
blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d/ speaks of aliases, and though I'm 
hardly an expert, that seems to imply that you need to also put the two 
modules into that list.  There should already be a file: 
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

I think you need to look in both places.  You might also look in the 
other files in /etc/modprobe.d/, since they will tell you what modules 
do get loaded, and under what aliases.
