I'm definitely not the right person to answer this.
However here's my thought:
- First, it's not debian issue, even upstream kernel has different
defconfig for each arch/platform.
- Strip some unnecessary module can save space, both for the box to
install the kernel, and for the Debian archive.
- Even for the reasons above, there's still room to improve: we may
have a mechanism to report newly appended modules when new kernel get
release, and debian kernel maintainer of each arch/flavour can review
this list, and then judge whether to include them.

If you really want to discuss this, I suggest you to start a new
thread in debian-kernel@lists.debian.org
It's not a issue that one bug ticket can resolve. We need more
discussion that all kernel maintainers have census.
