The single largest thing that goes into a default install in the
/usrodata set IS the kernel debug symbols. Isn't that what this
is controlling?
Note that these symbols are nearly 50% the size of the whole base
system:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 188782444 Apr 9 07:23 base.txz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 90131212 Apr 9 07:23 kernel-dbg.txz
