[Bug 1412077] Re: USB keyboard not working in initramfs (hid issue)

[legolas558]

For some reason (probably invalid modprobe usage in initramfs-tools
hook-functions) when you are building an initramfs image it does not
give an error about the missing hid modules (even if you require to load
them in such image). But installing -extra fixes this.
