How to build a kernel that not require "System.map"



Hello,

The Debian kernel package "linux-image-6.12.43+deb13-amd64" provides a "vmlinuz-6.12.43+deb13-amd64" file that not require a System.map file to boot, in fact the "System.map-6.12.43+deb13-amd64" file, that comes from the package above says:

~$ cat /boot/System.map-6.12.43+deb13-amd64
ffffffffffffffff B The real System.map is in the linux-image-<version>-dbg package

Which kernel symbols should I enable in "make menuconfig" in order to build a customized kernel image that not require System.map? I have always build the kernel with the command:

~/linux-source-6.12$ time make -s -j9 bindeb-pkg

Is it necessary a further complex procedure to accomplish that?

Thanks, kind regards.
