The thing I really want to see is a way to guarantee that a binary module package will get updated in the debian archive when the kernel is changed. Until we have this guarantee, there's really no way the installer can reliably depend on out of tree modules that need to be used for anything during installation, and there's no way the installer can reliably cause these module packages to be installed on the target system. I collolary of that last is that there also needs to be a way to ensure that module packages are always upgraded when the kernel is, which probably would mean doing something tricky with module package names and dependencies. -- see shy jo
