Attaching debian-installer debdiff to update the kernel version
so that the netboot images include this driver update on Bionic.

The kernel version eventually settled on is 4.15.0-62 after bug
searching on versions after 4.15.0-58 (which releases this 'fix').

This builds correctly on all architectures on PPA [1].

I have tested the installer with regular/lvm disk partition layouts
on amd64/i386/arm64/ppc64el/s390x on virtual machines with QEMU and
on amd64 bare metal machine.

The netboot installer boots the 4.15.0-62 kernel, finishes correctly,
and the installed system w/ the 4.15.0-64 kernel (from bionic-updates)
boots correctly.

The copy of the installer log in it (/var/log/installer/syslog)
shows no weird kernel messages at all, all good.
