Package: linux-source-5.8
Version: 5.8.10-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the
past)

When compiling a static kernel (i.e. with no LKMs), which I have done
many times before, deb-pkg fails after the compiling has finished unless
the file Module.symvers is present in the source directory.  It does not
matter if the file is empty, which it will be if no modules are being used.

Providing the source is a service, however we don't support special
use-cases for it.  Please talk to upstream about particular problems.
Closing, as it's not a bug really.
