I don't think it should be added to the kernel-image udeb.  i2c_exynos5
depends on i2c-core which is notionally in i2c-modules, but the package
dependency is the other way around.  At the moment i2c-core is actually
built-in, but if that ever changes the this dependency inversion would
break the build.

So I think i2c_exynos5 belongs in i2c-modules, and that's where I'll
put it.

Ben.
