Seems a reasonable size reduction to me ...

http://people.debian.org/~wouter/d-i/powerpc-miboot/2006-10-13/build_powerpc_floppy_net-drivers.log
says indeed only:
| BUILDING IMAGE FOR build_powerpc_floppy_net-drivers
|
| make[2]: `dest/powerpc/floppy/net-drivers.img' is up to date.
I would expect more output from a good build.
Would adding a `make clean` help?
