Confirmed in Ubuntu 15.10 Wily. This is a massively irritating defect. Profiling tools can't read the kernel file by default to help do performance tuning and nothing is gained from making the kernel secret because anybody can extract it from a deb file anyways.

Every time I upgrade, if it includes a linux-image-generic and I don't notice, I get lots of calls that the users cannot boot. The vmlinuz image is chmod 600, but for NFS root-boot needs to be 644. This is a very annoying (but not urgent) bug. Please fix so that new kernels are installed chmod 644 (as all other distros do). Thanx, David A.
