Bug Description

Currently the GCP/GKE kernel does not install the extra modules package by default and there's no easy way to install it other than installing the specific version package for each kernel version (ie: linux-modules-extra-${kernel-abi-version}-gcp).

It's necessary to include a meta pointing to the current binary extra modules packages.

For Cosmic, I saw this has been added:

Package: linux-modules-extra@SUFFIX@
Architecture: amd64
Section: kernel
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, linux-modules-extra-${kernel-abi-version}@SUFFIX@
Description: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Linux kernel extra modules
 This package will always depend on the latest Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Mark the task as fix released.
