OK, sounds good to me.  In your private mail you seemed to be asking
why only the debugging symbols are stripped from the kernel instead
of stripping all symbols.

I think the modules should be stripped the same way as the kernel:
with --strip-debug.  That way you end up with the same set of symbols
as if they were statically linked into the kernel.
