Looking at the sid package, this module was added to the virtio-modules
package unconditionally (doesn't depend on the arch, as opposed to the
pci one); that happened in r20402, in preparation for 3.10.1-1.
I've just looked at all linux-image-* binaries built from linux
3.2.60-1+deb7u1, and all contain that module but two[*], so I'm not
entirely sure about its arch-independence. The attached patch (against
the wheezy svn branch) might do the work, or might need an extra '?'.
[*] The two packages are the s390* -tape variants, which were dropped in
the meanwhile:
linux-image-3.2.0-4-s390x-tape_3.2.60-1+deb7u1_s390.deb
linux-image-3.2.0-4-s390x-tape_3.2.60-1+deb7u1_s390x.deb
