IMO it will make absolutely no difference at all for the complexity of future updates. "Next releases" is the key here. I don't see that happening for Lenny. It really is more consistent with how we do other exceptions to not add these in kernel-wedge. It seems much more logical to keep it simple and focussed now and to reevaluate when we know what is needed when new arches can be added. What I want to avoid is the modules needlessly getting included in images for arches where the installer does not support Xen.
