Both vlan and bridge-utils are legacy tools that are replaced by ip(8)
on modern GNU/Linux systems. You should use that instead. I do not
believe it would be desirable to include the legacy tools in the default
images.
If you really aren't willing to use ip(8), then I suggest constructing
your own VM images based on our configuration. This is a fully
supported use case and somethat that we do consider a reasonable option
for people who need customizations on top of what we've build. I
documented the process a while back at
https://noah.meyerhans.us/blog/2017/02/10/using-fai-to-customize-and-build-your-own-cloud-images/
and since then we've made it easier by eliminating the need to
explicitly call fai-diskimage. If you make you package modifications to
e.g. the package_config/DEBIAN file, then you can build an image using
"make buster-image-generic"
