Public bug reported:
Please make it easier to test hw-specific installer paths
Could you please add:
$ cat debian/modaliases
alias dmi:*:pnUBUNTUQEMUTESTNVIDIA:* meta oem-qemu-meta
modalias to the nvidia-graphics-drivers packages?
This would allow us to start qemu VM (as we do in automated testing) and
depending on the qemu-vm smbios settings it will trick the installer
into thinking that "oh yes, this machine needs nvidia l-r-m and all that
yazz).
We already have dmi:*:pnUBUNTUQEMUTEST:* modalias that we use to test
that the installer is in "certified OEM hardware mode" and enables OEM
archives.
Although i think we might want an "SKU" alias for NVIDIA such that we
can test with/without OEM as well as with/without NVIDIA.
Let me consult about the exact modalias to add.
