Did not (yet?) rename the kernel package to kernel-binary-bare. So the
kernel-modules -> kernel-modules-standard rename is there, and moving
the modules into kernel-modules-core. That opens up the question what
we should do with all the (non-module) files in /lib/modules/<version>/.
The modules.* files (generated by depmod) clearly belong into the
modules package.
The files copied over to /boot by the kernel-install grub plugin should
stay in the kernel binary package.
Not so sure about the other files (vdso for example). Leaving them in
kernel-modules-core should work fine as that package will continue to
be installed even when we replace the traditional kernel package with a
unified kernel package. But maybe it makes sense to move them into a
separate package?
My current split looks like this:
