No, modesetting_drv.so is shipped with the xserver.

Next upload of "xorg" will drop -intel from xserver-xorg-video-all,
meaning that the default driver for intel hw is modesetting. That's the
plan anyway, -intel will still be available if modesetting has issues.
But nothing stops us from switching the default again if needed..
