[Bug 621175] [NEW] -virtual kernel contains too many modules

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

the -virtual kernel changed in size from a ~ 10M deb to a ~ 33M :

$ ls -lh 2.6.35-1*/*.deb | awk '{print $5,$8}'
9.9M 2.6.35-15.21/linux-image-2.6.35-15-virtual_2.6.35-15.21_amd64.deb
9.7M 2.6.35-15.21/linux-image-2.6.35-15-virtual_2.6.35-15.21_i386.deb
33M 2.6.35-16.22/linux-image-2.6.35-16-virtual_2.6.35-16.22_amd64.deb
33M 2.6.35-16.22/linux-image-2.6.35-16-virtual_2.6.35-16.22_i386.deb

It appears it that all the -server kernel modules got enabled or collected.  Ie, in diff of filecontents, we see stuff like:
+/kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/88pm860x-ts.ko
+/kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/ad7877.ko
+/kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/ad7879.ko
+/kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/ads7846.ko

As shown above, this occurred between 2.6.35-15.21 and 2.6.35-16.22
