If I look at precise:
packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic
packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic-pae
Which gives all the installed sizes of the generic kernel. All are in
excess of 100 MB, with amd64 topping the list at around 130 MB.

It is something trivial if you ask me and should be optional to be
automated. When the algorithm has proved to not break the system it should
be turned on by default. But that is all positive thinking about the future.

With metta, Chris
