I examined the build logs from the actual buildd's: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/55565061/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick- amd64.linux_2.6.35-21.31_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz
I noticed something peculiar in the 2.6.35-21.31 build log: # # Remove all modules not in the inclusion list. # if [ -f debian.master/control.d/virtual.inclusion-list ] ; then \ debian/scripts/module-inclusion /build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-21-virtual/lib/modules/2.6.35-21-virtual/kernel \ debian.master/control.d/virtual.inclusion-list 2>&1 | \ tee virtual.inclusion-list.log; \ /sbin/depmod -b /build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-21-virtual -ea -F /build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-21-virtual/boot/System.map-2.6.35-21-virtual \ 2.6.35-21-virtual 2>&1 |tee virtual.depmod.log; \ fi /bin/bash: line 1: debian/scripts/module-inclusion: Permission denied Due to the Permission denied error, the virtual images are not removing all the modules not in the inclusion list, thus resulting in the larger -virtual deb size. When doing dpkg-buildpackage -S -rfakeroot... with the orig.tar.gz I noticed the following warning: dpkg-source: warning: executable mode 0755 of 'debian/scripts/module- inclusion' will not be represented in diff Thus it seems the executable permissions for debian/scripts/module- inclusion are not represented which results in the Permission denied error. To test this, I removed the executable permissions for debian/scripts/module-inclusion from my local test build and was able to reproduce the Permission denied error. Applying the following patch to execute debian/scripts/module-inclusion within a sub-shell seems to have resolved the issue. I've sent this to the Ubuntu kernel team mailing list for feedback.
