Both vlan and bridge-utils are legacy tools that are replaced by ip(8) on modern GNU/Linux systems. You should use that instead. I do not believe it would be desirable to include the legacy tools in the default images. If you really aren't willing to use ip(8), then I suggest constructing your own VM images based on our configuration. This is a fully supported use case and somethat that we do consider a reasonable option for people who need customizations on top of what we've build. I documented the process a while back at https://noah.meyerhans.us/blog/2017/02/10/using-fai-to-customize-and-build-your-own-cloud-images/ and since then we've made it easier by eliminating the need to explicitly call fai-diskimage. If you make you package modifications to e.g. the package_config/DEBIAN file, then you can build an image using "make buster-image-generic" noah
