Right. I'm starting to think though that we probably should have some 
mechanism in base-installer to allow packages to pre-register that they 
want a module package installed matching the selected kernel.
That could then be used by both partman-crypto and speakup.

A proposals with a patch that implements something like that would be 
welcome.
