Kernel: Ubuntu 5.13.0-28.31-generic 5.13.19
Distribution: Ubuntu 21.10 (impish)
I run an Ubuntu desktop as a VMWare virtual machine client.
The linux-modules-extra-${VERSION}-generic package contains several
critical VMWare drivers (vmwgfx, vmw_vmci, vmw_vsock), so I need to keep
it installed and updated.
Since it is a virtual machine, there is no need to install packages such
as linux-firmware (761MB uncompressed). I would prefer to remove linux-
firmware to reduce disk space and bandwidth usage, but linux-image-
generic depends on it.
I would remove linux-image-generic and rely on linux-image-virtual, but
linux-image-virtual does not depend on linux-modules-
extra-${VERSION}-generic, and there is no linux-modules-extra-generic
metapackage. I would have to manually install linux-modules-
extra-${VERSION}-generic every time I update the kernel.
There are already linux-modules-extra-aws, linux-modules-extra-gcp and
linux-modules-extra-gke metapackages which fulfill the same purpose for
their respective linux-modules-extra-${VERSION}-xxx packages. It would
be very helpful to me (and, I'm sure, many others) to complete the set
with a linux-modules-extra-generic metapackage that would depend on the
latest linux-modules-extra-${VERSION}-generic.
Thank you for your consideration.
