[SRU][P/O/N][PATCH v2 0/1] UBUNTU: [Packaging]: wdat_wdt.ko is moved from linux-modules-extra to linux-modules

[Mehmet Basaran]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2098554

SRU Justification:

[Impact]

Linux supports the virtual watchdog timer through the "wdat_wdt" module.
In Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on amd64, this module is in the
"linux-modules-extra-*-generic" series of packages. These are depended on by
the "linux-image-generic" package, but not by the "linux-image-virtual"
package. The latter is what is included in Ubuntu Official Cloud Images.

Installing "linux-image-virtual" on amd64 should get the "wdat_wdt" module
because it's necessary to fully support a common hypervisor. And to be
consistent we should do the same for other architectures too.

"wdat_wdt.ko" module is moved from linux-modules-extra to linux-modules
package.

[Testcase]

Build tested. Observed that "wdat_wdt.ko" module is moved from
"linux-modules-extra" to "linux-modules" package.

[Where problems could occur]

It is not possible to install linux-modules-extra (where wdat_wdt.ko was
previously located) package without installing linux-modules (where
wdat_wdt.ko will be). So, we won't end up in a situation where wdat_wdt.ko
will be missing.
