yes, sure. But significant question is why. Same package works on
Ubuntu16 without problems. There must be a specific difference between
the two OS here.
mods_extra_pkg_name is declared in a file in a rules.d folder and
install_control is called multiple time before this line.
I wanted to ask this question in a devel-list, but it was denied,
because iam not an official developer.
