Bug Description

linux-modules-4.18.0-17-generic misses the autofs module whereas linux-modules-4.15.0-47-generic contains it:

root@files07:~# find /lib/modules -name '*autofs*'
/lib/modules/4.15.0-46-generic/kernel/fs/autofs4
/lib/modules/4.15.0-46-generic/kernel/fs/autofs4/autofs4.ko

ii linux-modules-4.18.0-17-generic 4.18.0-17.18~18.04.1 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.18.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

This make it impossible to install and use the autofs package.

The module is contained in linux-modules-extra-4.18.0-17-generic which is not installed when linux-virtual-hwe-18.04 is selected.

Why has autofs been moved from linux-modules to linux-modules-extra?

Hi Robert,
I haven't found the reason.
For my limited kernel knowledge I have checked and discussed a bit.

in [1] I found
$ grep -Hrn autofs debian.master/contro*
debian.master/control.d/generic.inclusion-list:181:fs/autofs4/autofs4.ko

But then was made aware that with 4.18 ther kernel started to include this series [2]
Which means it was moved to a different path.

Maybe this would be enough to fix it, btu that is up to the kernel team
