I don't think that's a good idea. AFAIK just providing the module is
not enough as the load order of FB modules and the fact that some are built
into the kernel will still result in the i810 FB driver not being used.

Also, this is not a build system issue and thus debian-installer is just
the wrong package. To support this changes will be needed in kernel-wedge,
specific kernel-image-di udebs and probably rootskel or rootskel-gtk.

While there are no specific and tested patches to implement support for
this, the best place to keep this BR is at cdebconf-gtk-udeb as we still
have the old agreement that we use that also to park "general" issues with
the graphical installer.
When someone does actually work on this and _has_ patches, the BR should
be cloned/reassigned to the components that need to be changed.

Cheers,
FJP

P.S. When you retitle bugs, please make sure that the title does not wrap
to a new line! That will result in incorrect retitling.
