Hi! From the changelog: For binary .tar.gz packages, mysqld and other binaries now are compiled with debugging symbols included to enable easier use with a debugger. (Bug#33252) This results in more disk space used. However, if you do not need debug symbols and are short on disk space you can use strip(1) to remove the symbols from the binaries. Thanks.
