The previous version failed to build on alpha:
debian/virtio-modules-4.19.0-3-alpha-generic-di lib/modules/4.19.0-3-alpha-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko
debian/i2c-modules-4.19.0-3-alpha-generic-di lib/modules/4.19.0-3-alpha-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko
and sparc64:
debian/virtio-modules-4.19.0-3-sparc64-di lib/modules/4.19.0-3-sparc64/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko
debian/nic-modules-4.19.0-3-sparc64-di lib/modules/4.19.0-3-sparc64/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko
sparc64 was missing a i2c-modules package, but adding that just gets
it to the same state as alpha. On both architectures drm_kms_helper
is included in the virtio-modules package as a dependency of
virtio-gpu, and then i2c-core is included as a dependency of
drm_kms_helper.
I don't think it makes sense to make virtio-modules directly depend on
i2c-modules. (In fact I think virtio-modules was a mistake entirely.)
Instead, for all configurations that enable both DRM and virtio:
1. Add an fb-modules package if it doesn't already exist
2. Include drm and drm_kms_helper in it
Some new Loongson servers are using Aspeed BMC, which has an GPU.
Some other Loongson servers are using SM750 GPU instead of AMD's.
Since MIPS doesn't have a generic display driver like VESA, we need
to install sm750fb and (drm_)ast into Loongson's fb-moduels udeb package.
(cherry picked from commit 6fbe9f4e363b32a70adf391e6d74ae21c52f16b6)
Merge the configuration and default-configuration directories,
using per-architecture overrides in package-list.
This requires a newer version of kernel-wedge to support
Depends_<arch> properly.
The only immediate change to debian/control is to remove the
different description for nic-modules on sparc64.
