The installer already has a mechanism for adding modules to this list
(register-module -i).

That doesn't allow arbitrary modules to be added by pre-seeding, and I'm
not convinced that it should.  That should only ever be a workaround,
not something we expect to be widely used.  You can accomplish such
workarounds with late_command already.
