I question whether it's correct to dismiss this as invalid on the basis
that this is a minimal image.  In general, my expectation is that the
minimal image is a suitable base for deploying any of the software in
Ubuntu, it's just a smaller starting point.

And the purpose of having a separate KVM kernel flavor is to provide the
best kernel for booting in VMs, excluding hardware-specific drivers that
are necessarily irrelevant when running on a reasonably-configured VM.

It does not obviously follow from either of these points that the nfsd
driver should be excluded from the KVM kernel.  It's as reasonable to
run an nfs server in a VM as it is anywhere else.  And installing the
nfs-server package in a minimal VM shouldn't fail with obscure errors.

** Changed in: linux-meta-kvm (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => New
