[Bug 1778551] Re: Add linux-modules* packages to VersionedKernelPackages

[Seth Forshee]

Other than simply checking the patterns in the file, I can't think of an
easier way to test. If you know of one please let me know. I do
currently have a vm set up to let me test it.

Title:
  Add linux-modules* packages to VersionedKernelPackages

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  == SRU Justification ==

  Impact: The 4.15 hwe kernel includes some package shuffling, so the
  VersionedKernelPackages list in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove needs
  to be updated to include linux-modules* packages.

  Fix: Backport the conf file changes from bionic.

  Test Case: Confirm that linux-modules* packages are autoremoved
  according to the same rules used for linux-image* packages.

  Regression Potential: Minimal. Probably the worst case is that some
  packages that should be autoremoved are not, but since these changes
  have been in use in bionic for a while now no regressions are
  expected.
