It seems a little odd to have a crypto module in
with the NICS, even if it is a dependent module.

These are d-i fixes.  As the debian-installer is not respun in the older
releases in general, I am not sure these will ever have any effect?  The
Xenial one might for 16.04.1 other than that not.

I thought the net install bits got respun for each new kernel.

A good point well made.

Did you confirm that the nic-modules depends on the foo-modules in which
arc4 is shipped?

I have a vague recollection that kernel-wedge satisfies symbolic
linkages at udeb creation time. Regardless, though, arc4 registers
indirectly with the crypto engine so there can be no direct symbolic
linkage with consumers of the "ARC4 Cipher Algorithm". As long as
crypto-modules is included in d-i then all should  be well.

Andy has confirmed that he's satisfied with this.  ACK for all releases.
