Every distro tries it's best to provide the most commonly used modules
in the kernel tree.  To build *all* the modules (even as loadable)
would make the kernel install bigger that what it is.  Given VL is
targeting small foot print installations, building all modules might
not gel with the distro's objective.

You can always take VL's kernel source tree and compile a custom image
with your modules activated.

As for a how to, there are several already -- search keywords "debian
build kernel"
