I read that to indicate that we should have installed in the image
linux-image-virtual and linux-image-ec2 (or whatever that ends up being
called). According to [1] the installed size of the -virtual kernel (which
we'd probably install for UEC) to be < 8MB, and [2] shows the -ec2 flavor
to be ~ 18M.
When bug 428692 is fixed, I'd expect a smaller amount of modules in the
latter, resulting in a smaller installed size. So, we're looking at less
than 26M installed into a 10GB filesystem. So, I agree, that is probably
a reasonable use of space.
