Public bug reported:
linux-image-extra-virtual currently depends on linux-image-generic which
depends on too much when you consider it's use in VMs.
linux-image-generic comes with unneeded bits like the Intel/AMD
microcodes, linux-firmware and thermald packages which are most of the
time unneeded/unwanted in VMs.
It would be nice for linux-image-extra-virtual to depend on:
* linux-modules-extra-X.Y.Z-generic
This way, users of VMs wanting more than just the regular set of modules that
come with linux-image-virtual would simply need to install
linux-image-extra-virtual to get the versioned dependency on the -extra set of
modules.
** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- linux-image-extra-virtual should not depend on linux-image-generic
+ linux-image-extra-virtual should depend linux-modules-extra-X.Y.Z-generic
