Bug Description
SRU Justification
[Impact]
The scsi_debug.ko and nvmet-tcp.ko modules are currently shipped in linux-modules-
[Fix]
Please consider moving these modules to linux-modules.
These are already enabled in the 'main' kernel config, and in other distros. In Debian/
[Test]
1. pull built linux-modules packages for architectures with do_extras_package
set to true;
2. extract the deb and check if the kernel module files exists:
$ dpkg-deb -R linux-modules-*.deb .
$ find . -name scsi_debug.ko\*
$ find . -name nvmet-tcp.ko\*
[Regression Potential]
Moving a module from a less-common to a more-common package should not have any negative side effects. The main effect will be a little more disk space used by the more common package, whether the module is in use or not. There will also be more functionality available in the default installation, which means a slightly increased surface and possibility of new bugs in case it gets used.
