No, AFAIK it never did.  At the end of the sensors-detect run it gives you 
a list of stuff for _you_ to add to modules.conf and rc.local.  You have to 
modify these files accordingly, reboot to get them actioned, then run 
`sensors` to check the results.  

If any of the values look silly (compared to the values your bios reports), 
you can adjust scaling factors in sensors.conf.  (man sensors.conf).
