Roland, I don't suppose any of the recent changes I seem to recall hearing you were going to make to debuginfo might have anything to do with this...

Investibigating... Something is horked with debug stripping. All the massive kernels have unnaturally small -debuginfo packages. We'll get that fixed...

Okay, back to the drawing board... :) Chuck figured it out. The output of file 4.23 when looking at unstripped binaries changed, which broke find-debuginfo.sh... :\

Maybe this is because even after we strip out the debuginfo, file was reporting "not stripped", so someone decided to override that and always report them as stripped? I just used eu-unstrip to reassemble a module with the full debuginfo and file still doesn't say anything about it...
