correct, misread the original email.

this is what I get in binary/casper without the patch:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4991707 2012-08-12 18:37 initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14750751 2012-08-12 18:37 initrd.img-3.2.0-29-generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14757956 2012-08-12 18:37
initrd.img-3.2.0-29-generic-pae
-rw------- 1 root root 4855200 2012-08-12 18:37 vmlinuz-3.2.0-29-generic
-rw------- 1 root root 5010176 2012-08-12 18:37 vmlinuz-3.2.0-29-generic-pae
where 3.0.0.16-generic is the host kernel. You may argue it does not
harm if a proper syslinux theme is referencing the good binaries, but
at least it affects the image size significantly without a "cleaning"
hook
