Bug description:
  If VIRTIO_BLK and VIRTIO_NET become =m, instead of current =y the
  following should happen:

  VIRTIO_NET should be in the nic-modules udeb, and seeded into the d-i
  builds.

  VIRTIO_BLK can stay in block-modules-udeb, and in general is not
  needed in the d-i build, as it can be fetched over the VIRTIO_NET
  provided network.

  VIRTIO_BLK needs to be available (e.g. server udebs pool, for offline
  s390x installations)

  
  on the kernel side

  virtio-blk and virtio-nic most certainly need to be the in the "main"
  package of a flavor, and not in -extra.
