Well, after think a little about this problem I come up with the
following idea how to solve that (no patch or code has been written
for that yet):
- let the detection step at hw-detect module
- teach apt-install how to install a package that depends on the
target kernel version
My idea here is to use:
apt-install atl2-modules-TARGET_KERNEL
This would then resolve it when possible and install the correct
package for the target kernel. We could use
base-installer/kernel/image to get the installed image and then
with that find the kernel flavour.
What others think about that?
