Yes, however so far we've defaulted to installing all variants, and
allowing advanced users to explicitly select. For example, the Xorg
server pulls in "xserver-xorg-video-all | xorg-driver-video".

I think this is a good precedent to follow, as it allows full CL support
out of the box, and advanced users can still avoid installing drivers
that aren't useful.
