[Matthew Hall <mhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Confirmed in Ubuntu 15.10 Wily. This is a massively irritating defect.
Profiling tools can't read the kernel file by default to help do
performance tuning and nothing is gained from making the kernel secret
because anybody can extract it from a deb file anyways.

Title:
  vmlinuz permissions

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I use NFS root-boot for our department systems.  Every time I upgrade,
  if it includes a linux-image-generic and I don't notice, I get lots of
  calls that the users cannot boot.  The vmlinuz image is chmod 600, but
  for NFS root-boot needs to be 644.  This is a very annoying (but not
  urgent) bug.

  Please fix so that new kernels are installed chmod 644 (as all other
  distros do).

  Thanx,

  David A. Bandel
