I dont think we should follow the systemd/Mkosi team into the rabbit hole they are into in systemd/mkosi#680 .

Vendors/users always have to declare if they want to include/exclude drivers. There is no option/soft/weak dependency etc. in this case.

If the systemd/Mkosi team wants to implement hackish workarounds for bad and or non-existing vendor ( Debian ) choices and start a quest of reading minds or intentions, then let's just allow them to do just that, in systemd/Mkosi...
