Hardcoding as is moving the call to find-debuginfo.sh from the install
to the build phase?  Or literally rolling our own in the build section?
Just curious.

(As an aside, we actually do sign the modules as part of the kernel
build already.  The config options are setup that way.  The signatures
just get stripped later, which makes us sign them again.  I left it that
way in case people are using the Fedora configs to build kernels from
git, and it doesn't increase the build time because ARM dominates that.)

Yeah, I'm intrigued.  Particularly if it results in the debuginfo
stripping becoming a parallel thing...
