An out-of-tree kernel module which doesn't see many new versions can
pile up a considerable amount of packages if it is depended on via
another packages (e.g.: v4l2loopback-utils recommends v4l2loopback-modules)
which in turn can prevent the old kernels from being removed if they
happen to have a dependency on the images.
To prevent this we check if a provider is a versioned kernel package
(like an out-of-tree module) and if so check if that module package is
part of the protected kernel set – if not it is probably good to go.
We only do this if at least one provider is from a protected kernel
though so that the dependency remains satisfied (this can happen e.g. if
the module is currently not buildable against a protected kernel).
