From: Zack Rusin <[email protected]>
The debug vmlinux takes up the vast majority of space in the built
rpm's. While having it enabled by default is a good idea because it
makes debugging easier, having an option to skip it is highly valuable
for CI/CD systems where small packages are a lot easier to deal with
e.g. kernel rpm built using binrpm-pkg on Fedora 36 default 5.19.8 kernel
config and localmodconfig goes from 255MB to 65MB which is an almost
4x difference.
To skip adding vmlinux.bz2 to the built rpm add SKIP_RPM_VMLINUX
environment variable which when set to "y", e.g. via
"SKIP_RPM_VMLINUX=y make binrpm-pkg" won't include vmlinux.bz2 in the
built rpm.

Yes please, this seems to slightly improve the time spent actually
building and installing the package.

This came from fc370ecfdb37b853bd8e2118c7ad9f99fa9ac5cd
I do not know how useful or annoying it is.
Presumably, it was a cheesy work, and rather annoying than useful.
In debian (scripts/package/mkdebian), this kind of stuff is
a separate debug package, and only built when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y.
Take more time in case somebody may come up with a better idea.

I'd be happy to rework it in whatever way would be more convenient. Because rpm
builds already depend on environment vars due to RPMOPTS I thought this approach was
fitting but I'm not particularly attached to it. The important thing is the the end
result of not including vmlinux.bz2 in the rpm itself.
I think the other reasonable question to ask is: is anyone still using vmlinux.bz2
from rpms? Because maybe just removing that code completely is the better option
here.

Yes, I like it.
