It seems like this image has a greatly reduced set of modules (namely
the `rt2x00` driver isn't built, although looking at the .config diff it
looks like many drivers are omitted). Could the build configuration be
modified to include a wider breadth of drivers?

Out of curiosity, currently apt knows of three kernel series (run on a
2014-09-03 installation): `-ti`, `-bone`, and what is presumably the
unsuffixed Debian upstream kernels. From what trees do these builds
originate?  Who maintains them? I guess the `-ti` kernel is new
preferred kernel?

Cheers,
