Missing PPTP module in debian kernel [message #50331]

I'm using the debian kernel for Wheezy from APT repository:

deb hxxp://download.openvz.org/debian wheezy main

.. and have found it completely void of the PPTP module.

$ modprobe pptp
FATAL: Module pptp not found.

$ locate pptp
/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab059.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_pptp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab059.7/kernel/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_pptp.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/pptp.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_pptp.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_pptp.ko

I then downloaded the source from package "vzkernel-devel" and only the netfilter modules are included.

Why were they removed?
How do I install PPTP module?

I am not interested in running PPPd in a container, I just want to run it on the host as normal.
