Package: kernel-package
Version: 12.036+nmu3
Severity: important
/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/targets/image.mk does this:
find $(TMPTOP)$(DEBUGDIR) -type f -name \*.ko | \
while read file; do
origfile=`echo $$file | sed -e 's,$(DEBUGDIR),,g'`;
echo $(OBJCOPY) --only-keep-debug $$file;
$(OBJCOPY) --only-keep-debug $$file;
echo $(OBJCOPY) --add-gnu-debuglink=$$file $$origfile;
$(OBJCOPY) --add-gnu-debuglink=$$file $$origfile;
done
which corrupts module signatures.
Module signatures are important, there are several rootkits that are
neutralized when the kernel refuses to load unsigned modules.
