Can we use metapackages to break the modules into easy to install classes? 
That would keep the default list reasonably small without making life 
difficult for those with a minority interest. Classes might include:

USB Mass Storage - for card readers, usb hdds and cd/dvd drives, includign 
filesystem modules
USB Networking - for ethernet and wifi dongles
USB HID - for keyboards, gamepads, etc.
Advanced packet filtering - for more esoteric firewall and traffic shaping 
needs
