I think that deserves an >UPDATING entry. I hadn't got that before now. I probably missed something important earlier in this thread, but installing the debug versions of the modules seems like a bug, since we don't install the debug version of the kernel. Adding "DEBUG=-g" has always simply required more space in /usr/src, but not affected the installed size. Does installing the debug versions of modules make sense at all, or is it just hard to fix the makefiles to stop it happening?
