Dear OpenJDK Team,

during upgrading the package, I realized it has grown significantly in
size (from 100 MB in version 25.0.4.1+1-1 to now 350 MB).
Closer inspection shows there is a file named
'lib/server/libjvm.debuginfo' contained in
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-25-openjdk-amd64/jmods/java.base.jmod' which is
unpacked nearly 700 MB big.
It wasn't there in version 25.0.4.1+1-1.
Is this file really necessary for this package?

Regards,
Jörg.
