Add cifs support to nfs-modules udeb

[Chris Van Hoof]

When testing mounting a cifs based share via netboot images I found that the cifs module is not available, although the version of mount provided in busybox does support mounting this protocol.

Attaching a patch which adds the cifs module to debian.master/d-i/modules/nfs-modules. I have verified this applies cleanly to both Quantal as well as Precise.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for Precise in -proposed solves the problem (3.2.0-30.47). Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-precise' to 'verification-done-precise'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

[Luis Henriques (henrix)]

I've manually checked the d-i now contains the cifs kernel module:

$ dpkg -c nfs-modules-3.2.0-30-generic-di_3.2.0-30.47_amd64.udeb | grep cifs.ko
-rw-r--r-- root/root 504128 2012-08-15 21:13 ./lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko

Tagging as verified.
