[Bug 2036885] Re: please add API to exclude things

[Benjamin Drung]

Yes, we do not have an easy way to exclude kernel modules. A workaround
would be to add a hook in /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks to remove those
modules, but this is ugly.

We could add another option to `MODULES` (besides `most`, `dep`,
`netboot`, `list`) to exclude the amdgpu+nvidia drivers.

Please suggest how the API could look like.

Bug description:
  Please add API to exclude things

  It would be useful on Pi to say "yes include all graphics" but do
  exclude "amdgpu, nvidia" drivers and firmware related to those.

  Something along the lines of a "exclude filter list" for drivers &
  firmware.
