I hope that when debug purposes will finish, this will be removed,
because it's not good at all, as more and more modules are being
enabled, and there're already quite a few megs of them. Plus even just
having some modules around will cause them load, taking away memory and
potentially changing behavior (e.g., dropbear pulls ipv6 taking 200Kb+).

P.S. For debugging purposes, there's devimage-image. It does include
kernel-images for every machine. It also offers kind of clean room for
testing, booting into raw shell with pristine overall kernel
environment, but having most (the aim - as much as possible) needed
tools at fingertips.
