Please check the sizes. We have additional kernel-source* .deb packages
in the archive, much bigger than all module-source packages and nobody
cares about it.

I did not request anything different. Keep creating -source package as
usual, then extend apt-src to allow smooth transition, then extend
debian-cd to include such essential source packages in default config
and only then begin to kill -source packages. And not vice versa.
