+# kmod (depmod/modprobe) is required even though no linux-image is. --variant=apt installs only
+# essential+apt, so priority:important packages like kmod are absent, and udev pulls libkmod2 (the
+# library) but not the binaries. The external kernel's modules ride in on the two-phase payload with
+# no modules.dep, so nucleic-modsetup runs `depmod` + `modprobe vmw_vsock_virtio_transport` on every
+# boot to make them loadable — and modern Ubuntu kernels ship vsock as a MODULE. Without kmod that
+# unit is silently inert (every command "not found", swallowed by its `|| true`), vsock never loads,
+# and the guest agent cannot bind AF_VSOCK: the guest boots to a login prompt and the host times out
+# waiting for a ping.
