(Get the code!)
So it's a module: CONFIG_DMI_SYSFS=m and it's part of the modules-extra package. That means there's no way, without knowing the exact kernel version in advance, to pull that package in using linux-virtual. You'd have to use linux-generic, but that also pulls in all the firmware stuff.
Can a solution be implemented to make this easier? Other distros have it as built-in. It could also be moved to the core package. Or linux-virtual could depend on the appropriate modules-extra package.
