Overall, I like the idea of using wildcards to include enabled drivers
by default, so that drivers for new platforms get automatically
included.

The only downside I see, is if a driver was accidentally disabled in the
config (or due to some new conflicting config), it will happily produce
a package without that driver...

The obvious advantage is it will likely reduce the number of round-trip
bug reports to enable drivers in both the kernel and the udebs, so I'd
be supportive of using wildcards for that reason.
