Alright, I've implemented this in the attached patches, one for sid, and
one for stretch. I didn't run any test builds, but I've verified that
contrary to some other virtio* modules, virtio_console is built
everywhere (CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=m in debian/config/config), so should
be added without '?'.

Thanks for considering.


Cheers,
