This is likely caused by the convertion to dynamic modules. The
migration should be transparent unless you have manually edited
nginx.conf at some point. If that's the case you need to manually
include the module directory files, there is a NEWS entry about that,
see /usr/share/doc/nginx-common/NEWS.Debian.gz.

Can you please check that you have the following line is present
near the top of your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file?

include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;
