Comment 6 for bug 607657

Let's look at sizing, then. The lucid server CD (last built on 2010-11-24) currently has 18345984 bytes free on amd64 and 27488256 bytes free on i386. Any one of the -lts-backport-maverick kernels exceeds both of these by some margin: the smallest non-virtual kernel is 33742668 bytes (generic on i386). Oddly, -virtual is actually bigger than that, but never mind ...

This doesn't leave me with many options. I can't add the backported kernel to the point release server CDs without removing something else, which is a tricky proposition in a point release. We haven't actually been building DVDs for point releases, but I should be able to add them to DVDs anyway. Or we can just leave this to netboot installations only, add it to the boot menu, and document it for PXE-booters. What do you think?

Per comment #3, we also need to build installer kernel/initrd variants based on the backported kernels.
