Bug#598978: btrfs requires crc32c.ko
Package: kernel-wedge
Version: 2.67
Benoît Knecht reported that the btrfs module requires crc32c.ko which
is not available in d-i.
The module is under kernel/crypto/crc32c.ko so presumably the correct
solution is to put crc32c.ko into crypto-modules and have
btrfs-modules depends on crypto-modules.
