So if the g-ether kernel module is built-in to the kernel, the
kernel-module-g-ether will not be installed (as it's RRECOMMENDS). The
usbinit package still will be (unless for some reason it can't be built
for the target).
I assume this doesn't pose a problem?
This does mean usbinit would be installed when it isn't strictly
necessary - but that's better than not installing it if it's required.
Looks good to me.
