Indeed that does the trick.

Now a couple of questions:

1) On what basis was rpcsec_gss_krb5 relegated to linux-image-extra-virtual
while auth_rpcgss is in linux-image-virtual? This makes no sense to me.
Most of linux-image-extra-virtual seems to be drivers that are unlikely to
be of interest on virtual hardware because hypervisors don't usually expose
those devices to the guest OS. rpcsec_gss_krb5, however, does not fit into
this category; I'd say it's just as likely to be needed in a virtual host
as in a physical one. And what's the point of shipping auth_rpcgss without
any actual GSS mechanisms?

2) Why is the description for package linux-image-extra-3.2.0-24-virtual
identical to that for package linux-image-3.2.0-24-virtual? It suggests
installing linux-virtual instead, but doing so will *not* pull in
limux-image-extra-virtual.
