(Get the code!)
I recently had the same issue with an accidental removal of the -extra package.
There are NO safeguards in apt warning about potentially rendering your system unusable if removed by accident.
And the linux-image package itself lacks many network drivers and ESPECIALLY LACKS USB HID support!
This results in installations not being able to be restored/fixed, because of missing keyboard/mouse input; and if you don't have SSH set up or are one of the unlucky ones with the appropriate network drivers missing in the linux-image package.
