    Hello, kernel maintainers.

    I see in aptitude that the size of the linux-image package is being
    reduced by almost 80%. I have searched kernel logs (both upstream and
    Debian packaging) but could not find an explanation. Does this imply
    that many kernel modules have disappeared? I don't see ant new packages
    to contain these modules, though. So: what happened, and should I care?

    Thanks a lot for your time

    Nothing to worry about, modules are now compressed with XZ.

    Thanks a lot for your time
