Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Impact: Due to a missing $ in the rules file, the modules for the input and wwan subpackages get picked up in a way that places the server flavour in all of the flavours. This causes the modules to fail loading on all flavours but the server one (could be slightly different on i386 but similar broken).

Fix: Change the packaging script to look for the target flavour.

Testcase: Installing and modprobing fails with an error and modinfo would show a different flavour than intended.

Same Problem here - my WWAN module does not work because of this, I presume. A fix would be very much appreciated.
