Bug#1106658: installation-reports: Touchpad not active

The kernel-image udeb is used everywhere. i915, *if* it is to be added
somewhere, does *not* belong there. See other files in that directory,
fb-modules might make sense, speakup-modules might as well.

I'd prefer not touching the kernel udebs at the moment (for the i915
thing, which really is orthogonal to this bug report and this MR). We can
add/remove things autonomously through the debian-installer source
package, and I really don't want to have through linux source uploads to
adjust stuff, especially given the amount of blur currently surrounding
firmware-sof-signed vs. firmware-intel-sound…

That would look good to me (at least given the current state of things on
the arm64 side). If pinctrl were only about touchpads and stuff, one
could argue they only make sense for the graphical installer, but I
suppose this could control other internal stuff, so adding the whole
series of pinctrl modules, in kernel-image, might be the easiest.
