This looks like the culprit, from src/release/Makefile...
# Make and install the generic kernel(s).
release.4:
*snip*
${CROSSMAKE} ${KERNEL_FLAGS} -DNO_MODULES \
reinstallkernel -DINSTALL_DEBUG \
DESTDIR=${RD}/trees/base
I'd like to see this go for 5.0-RELEASE or be taken out of the `base' set
and moved into `debug' or something. It would make FTP installs a bit
quicker for people on slow links (like myself) and allow people to make
their root FS smaller (~60 MB vs. ~90 MB). It would also save a little bit
of space on the CD since an uncompressed copy of kernel.debug is on it in the
`boot' directory.
