I recently had the same issue with an accidental removal of the -extra
package.
There are NO safeguards in apt warning about potentially rendering your
system unusable if removed by accident.
And the linux-image package itself lacks many network drivers and
ESPECIALLY LACKS USB HID support!
This results in installations not being able to be restored/fixed,
because of missing keyboard/mouse input; and if you don't have SSH set
up or are one of the unlucky ones with the appropriate network drivers
missing in the linux-image package.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
