Yes. Nowadays kmod has many more features related to compressed modules
and verification of signatures.
Can we agree that kmod should provide these programs for d-i?
Or can the d-i maintainers just tell us what they want?
I meant to come back to this after experimenting, then things happened…
I picked kmod at the time because it worked, and because busybox didn't
work, which I summed up in:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/commit/450daf0bd24ee94d4f466ab65908c079ef795145
(plus follow-up commit, woopsie
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/commit/69777be465c5d0210d16159a456ab88535513a07
)
I'm fine with sticking to kmod regarding module support in d-i. I'm not
sure we should keep support in two different modules, so dropping it
from busybox would work for me. Others might have different views on
this, though.
