Maybe Gentoo does this, although I'm not sure, but the philosophy
is very different: they compile everything from source. And it doesn't
install as smoothly as Devuan.
In Devuan it means something very unusual: the installer must first
install gcc, generate a config file and compile the kernel. It is not an
easy task to generate a working config for any hardware combination. The
resulting kernel package would be local and couldn't undergo upgrades.
Just an idea: Would it be possible to detect the hardware of each computer being
installed on and after that install the needed modules? Preferably the modules
should not be located on /usr, currently they are under /lib.
I don't understand the repulsion towards having the modules in
/usr/lib. What difference does it make? None, unless you want the three
following conditions: no initramfs, /usr being a mountpoint, some
drivers and filesystems compiled in the kernel, but missing just the one
for /usr. You've got to work pretty hard to fulfill these conditions.
