Bug Description
The debs are close to the same size:
mwhudson@
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mwhudson mwhudson 5398652 Dec 12 10:42 linux-image-
mwhudson@
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mwhudson mwhudson 6640960 Dec 12 10:42 linux-image-
But the vmlinuz on arm64 is several times larger:
$ dpkg-deb -c linux-image-
-rw------- root/root 6633048 2018-12-07 06:38 ./boot/
$ dpkg-deb -c linux-image-
-rw------- root/root 23914504 2018-12-07 06:38 ./boot/
This forced us to make the boot partition larger for the raspi3 b+ arm64 image we made.

It seems the vmlinuz is not compressed on arm64 which would explain the difference. If u-boot on arm64/rpi3b+ supports a compressed image that would suggest the fix is fairly simple.
