Bug#998716: linux-image-5.14.0-2-amd64: The package size has grown a lot compared to 5.8/5.10 releases
Package: linux-image-5.14.0-2-amd64
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
the Installed-Size of the package has occasionally grown up to 375 MB,
which is about 30% larger than several minor releases before. A kindful
anonymous person has collected some more information here:
https://www.linux.org.ru/forum/general/16628666?cid=16628797 , and found
out that virtually every module has been grown in size. So this is
likely related to compilation options, rather than to some added modules
as I suspected before.
Please investigate the actual reason and report if this can/would be
fixed in further packages, thanks.
