Control: reassign -1 console-setup 1.184

virtio and virtio_ring, which means that adding them to any other
package would require that package to depend on virtio-modules.
(The Xen-specific drivers don't have this issue only because xenbus
unfortunately has to be built-in.)

I think task-desktop should recommend it. (Many people use wireless
networking in desktop computers, and we added a recommendation of iw
there already.)
