Yes I think they want a "no desktop dross" version of the kernel.  When I
revamped the -virtual inclusion stuff I did make it possible for it to
be iterative.  So we could furhter sprint -extras into such that core
h/w drivers are together and everything else is together.  Using the
existing meta packages to group them appropriatly as we do now with
-generic.
