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.
