Bug#299567: closed by Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> (Kernel from Debian 3.1 no longer supported)
At least 2.6.22 and 2.6.24 have this bug. I suppose the best way to handle this
would be to have a 'linux-image-*-dbg' package, like libc6-dbg, which
would include a vmlinux file for use with oprofile. If the vmlinux could
be built with debugging symbols and still match the 'production'
vmlinuz image that would be even better.
