I am not a kernel developer and my knowledge in this area is very
limited. Did try your suggestion to call modules_install with
INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1, but still the signature was removed in the
RPM. Removing the 'chmod u+x', so find-debuginfo.sh does not strip
them, did not help either. But, most properly, I am still missing
something.

Kind regards,
