Fedora kernel list - Oct 2007 - Building a kernel "--without debuginfo" is kind of broken

I got a 160MB kernel package and discovered that the kernel and
modules contained debug info. This seems to fix it, does anyone
see a problem with it?


     make -s mrproper
     cp configs/$Config .config
 
+    %if !%{with_debuginfo}
+    perl -p -i -e ''s/^CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y$/# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not
set/'' .config
+    %endif
 
     Arch=`head -1 .config | cut -b 3-`
     echo USING ARCH=$Arch

I believe at one point in the past, debuginfo was still getting 
stripped, just not packaged, with that option. Then things changed 
around a bit, and with that option, stripping didn''t happen. The above 
seems like a sane remedy to me.
