Ubuntu Core / CVM in kernel.efi may include some kernel modules from
modules-extra packages. To support that unfortunately one has to
package.config parameterize specifying which kernel.efi builds need
modules-extra. Alternatively, we should consider dropping
modules-extra or promoting require modules from modules-extra to
modules. Meanwhile this is a declarative and explicit solution to
unblock product development teams.

Concept reviewed on mattermost by arighi, test-build against v6.3 abi
successful in the snapstore, and forward applied to v6.5 unstable.
