It is recommended that users building their own kernels never configure
as a module any driver that Debian doesn't configure as a module.

Anyway, essential modules for system operation should preferably be
added to /etc/modules.  They will be early-loaded by whatever gets to
them first (be it the initramfs, or systemd, or sysvinit).  Both
initramfs-tools and dracut know to always add modules present in
/etc/modules to the initramfs, and attempt to manually load them.

Adding essential modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules works, but it
is specific to initramfs-tools.
