On Focal the correct command to (temporarily) fix the permission
problem:

  sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 0644
/boot/vmlinux-$(uname -r)

However, I also feel that that making non secret information world
readable would have been the Unix way. This change made the life of a
few script kiddies a very bit harder, but also made the life of many
legal users significantly harder (in contrast with a script kiddy they
have to maintain the fix in a more formalized way).
