Comment 2 for bug 1639878

yeah, there are sadly some package dependencies that pull in some modules, technically *only* modules to find the rootfs (controller, and possibly filesystems (but these are compiled in in the core kernels anyway)) should be included by default.

this will all be solved in the next-gen initrd where we will split out a separate modules img file and load the initrd in a two step process so the kernel snap can define them a bit more dynamic.

i will take care for the hyper_v bits but this needs a bit of code since we need to avoid having tehm by default in i.e. ARM images. i should have something in the daily builds from the edge channel for you before EOW.

i'm curious why nobody complained about this before the final GA release though, have azure images not been tested ?
