Thanks for your report.

This was triggered by an upstream commit that reorganized how module
compression works
(https://git.kernel.org/linus/c7ff693fa2094ba0a9d0a20feb4ab1658eff9c33).
Since then a new kconfig item (i.e. MODULE_COMPRESS) is needed to get
compressed modules. The result was that kernel modules are not
compressed any more in the Debian package. The next upload of 6.12.x
will again properly compress modules.

Best regards
Uwe
