Bug Description
[ SRU Justification ]
Under some conditions, the kmod error messages from a missing modules.builtin will end up on the console, making it difficult to interact with the installer. Furthermore, it's a performance hit and a general confusion to be missing the file.
[ Test Case ]
Watch for errors on the console, and also check syslog at the end of the install. ls /lib/modules/
[ Regression potential ]
Pretty much nil, given the content of the patch, and that it's a no-op on kernels that don't provide a modules.builtin.

This problem is seen on x86 as well, so setting arch to All.
root@linux:~# uname -a
Linux cellc02 3.16.0-28-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 12 17:37:40 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running with a preseed file, the install seems to complete normally in spite of these errors seen on the console.
