They can both be included (planetedge and planetcore). Some of the
planetedge kernels don't have additional kernel-module-alsa packages, I
think, in those cases you will use the alsa drivers that are part of the
kernel.

Yes, but resolution depends on what kind of bug. If it is something
internal to the kernel then I can probably do nothing about it (save for
keep rebuilding kernels :-)
