Hi Svante,

the kernel itself is able to auto-detect the (known) hardware on which
it is running, and load the corresponding modules since ever. In
principle, if a minimal (and massively modular) kernel is used during
installation (as currently happens for Debian/Devuan) a list of
modules to be installed can be obtained at install time by a bash
one-liner like

lsmod | cut -d " " -f 1 | sort

However, this will not solve the problem of upgrades.
