-- Impact --

Before 26.04/Resolute the v4l2loopback module was build from DKMS and included
in linux-modules. When switching to linux-main-modules (LMM) it was omitted
from the additional dependencies for linux-modules and for that reason is no
longer part of the default kernel installation (-generic).

-- Fix --

Add packaging changes to depend on linux-main-modules-v4l2loopback-* from
linux-modules. More or less followed what was done for zfs. The only
difference is that I have not added it to the meta package for the core
fallback image as it is not crucial for that.

-- Testcase --

Before: installing linux-generic would not install the module
After: installing linux-generic should have it

-- Regression Potential --

Since there is no code change things to go wrong are packaging.
