Bug#704672: virtio-modules for sparc64

[Artyom Tarasenko <atar4qemu@gmail.com>]

Package: cdrom
Severity: serious

Since qemu-system-sparc64 can boot Linux only from a virtio device, it
would be really helpful to have the virtio-blk and virtio-net drivers on
the sparc install media.

Please note that this bug was earlier filed against the 'kernel'
package (Bug#673320),
and is resolved. Now there is a package
virtio-modules-3.2.0-2-sparc64-di , but it's still missing on the
sparc install media.

Other architectures (amd64, i686, ...) have these drivers, so it must
be safe to include them.
