Title:
  Kernel modules of first necessity in linux-image-extra rather than
  linux-image

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Recently, after upgrading a machine from 12.04 to 14.04 I noticed that
  neither keyboard nor network would work, making it rather hard to
  resolve the situation.

  Upon further investigation, it turned out that this was because the
  linux-image-extra package was missing, and that 14.04 has some rather
  critical kernel modules, such as usbhid (keyboard and mouse) and r8169
  (my network card).

  Please make sure in the future that the basic necessities to interact
  with a system are in linux-image-generic, rather than extra.

  root@hitchhiker:~# lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
  Release:        14.04
  root@hitchhiker:~# apt-cache policy linux-image-generic
  linux-image-generic:
    Installed: 3.13.0.71.77
    Candidate: 3.13.0.71.77
    Version table:
   *** 3.13.0.71.77 0
          500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
          500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages

       3.13.0.24.28 0
          500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

  What I expected to happen:
  - After an upgrade, I expect the computer to react when I enter keys, move the mouse, or attempt to connect to it over the network

  What happened instead
  - the system was completely unreactive, and needed a boot from a live CD to revive it again
