Unless you intend to explictly work on fb support for Malta, I'd leave
them out. I put them in on the SWARM because I was planning to
support installations via USB keyboard and monitor, but I no longer
have access to a SWARM and there are so few users that the effort is
probably not justified anyway.
The modules can always be added once/if users are interested.
