The packages are there, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to load the
modules manually right after booting the installer.
There must be an issue with the module loading mechanism. Grepping
through sources.debian.net, it looks like the modules are actually
loaded by initramfs-tools when /sys/bus/vio is present during boot.
Thus, we first need to verify whether this is actually true. Maybe
there was a change in the kernel that changed the behavior of the
sysfs entry so that the check in the initramfs script fails.
Cheers,
Adrian
