During dist-upgrade you are prompted with a diff regarding nginx.conf,
that diff includes the "/etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf" line. There
is also a NEWS entry about that change.

Because jessie's nginx was not using dynamic modules. Nowdays the
modules need to be loaded in order to parse the relevant configuration
