=m means they are build as dynamically loadable modules. As a general
purpose distribution, we default to building things as modules when
possible. This means that the code is only active and consuming memory
when it is being used. =y would mean that the code is always loaded -
consuming memory, and increasing the attack surface area for security
issues, even if the user never needs that code.
