aes-x86_64 module missing from amd64

Bug Description

ubuntu-9.04-rc-alternate-amd64.iso

during installation, i switch to a command console and:
# modprobe dm-crypt
# modprobe aes-x86_64
FATAL: Module aes_x86_64 not found.

Why isn't this 64-bit module included with this amd64 iso?

I want to use the aes-xts-plain cipher & therefore need the optimized aes-x86_64 module.

So, yes.

aes-x86_64 is not the only module which is missing, there are many more crypto modules missing like:
xts, md4, ...., which is really anoying, because I can't mount my xts encrypted partitions.
In the filelist of the kernel image are all modules listed: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic/filelist

On the lucid amd64 alternate there are only:

aes_generic.ko
arc4.ko
ascyn_tx [dir]
blowfish.ko
crc32c.ko
serpent.ko
sha256_generic.ko
twofish.ko
twofish_common.ko
xor.ko

in the crpto dir (/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/crypto/)
