I found the following commit:

commit 9b6edf364eb05aca4709732136e92a6ab739bb36
Author: Conrad Meyer
Date:   Tue Jun 23 18:25:31 2020 +0000

If this change is correct maybe src.conf(5) should be updated:

WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS
             Set to not install kernel symbol files.  This option is
             recommended for those people who have small root partitions.
