The entire point of kernel-modules-extra is to get them out of the
default install.  If there are modules in that subpackage that are
needed by default, then they should be moved back to the main package.

Put it this way.  If it's installed by default, I'll just remove the
subpackage entirely because the cost of having the subpackage entirely
outweighs the benefits.
