Bug Description
It would be nice to have the netconsole driver compiled into kernel(?) or loaded so people can catch kernel
panics for some hardware devices the installer will probe.

This seems to be essentially fixed in initramfs-tools. The netconsole module is in the initramfs by default, although you do have to arrange for it to be loaded (I think that's OK since you have to configure netconsole anyway). To do that, put 'netconsole' on a line by itself in /etc/initramfs-
