Hi Seth!
Thanks for applying it to unstable. Apologies for not tagging the patch for
that, but it would indeed be good to have that in the 20.04 release! :)

As for the other stable series, wouldn't the netboot mini.iso benefit from
having the driver included? I think that would get automatically rebuilt to
include this change, so users working with the daily releases or the mini.iso
would still benefit from this patch (even if we don't have any new point
releases for the older Series). Would that be an appropriate use case?

Thanks,
Heitor
