Hi Francis,
I like the idea to make this applicable to all the variants without
the need to update the flavours list.

However I think there are some exceptions here, we don't have this
module-extra package for OEM kernels nor the KVM kernel (so far these
two came up in my mind). This change might break them with the
packages that are not installable error.
Maybe a filter to ignore these will do?

Thanks
Sam
