Public bug reported:
= SRU Justification =
== Impact ==
When building the linux-aws kernel for 16.04/Xenial and 18.04/Bionic,
only a limited subset of modules is added to the binary package. However
the build environment for the 14.04/Trusty variant was incorrectly set
up and includes all modules which get built.
== Fix ==
Change the setup, so all linux-aws kernel packages do the same thing.
== Testcase ==
Downloading the binary kernel package and check that the number of .ko
files in there are below 1000. Also the package size is an indicator as
correctly its about 19MB and right now more like 38MB.
== Risk of regression ==
Considering low since those modules that get stripped should be hardware
drivers which are not really useful inside a cloud environment.
