It seems the changes were added at some point without properly reflecting it in this bug report. Double checked that Noble contained them and FWIW that was the last place it mattered as this is the final HWE kernel for Jammy.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2045412 Title: [mantic] Allow module compression to be turned off Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Mantic: Won't Fix Bug description: [SRU Justification] == Impact 23.10/Mantic (and newer) kernels are packaged with modules compressed to save disk space and load time. This will remain unchanged. For simplifying backports into 22.04/Jammy LTS we need a way to turn this off when compiling those newer kernels as HWE kernels. == Fix Add an option to turn off module compression when packaging the kernel. This will be unset when compiling Mantic and newer. So there will be no change there. == Testcase Verify that in Mantic the size of the modules package(s) does not change. == Regression potential The compression could be accidentally disabled in newer kernels.
