Bug#405810: Please provide package with vmlinuX, similar to kernel-debuginfo on redhat
The problem is that the vmlinuz file in /boot and modules in
/lib/modules do not carry debug symbols. Therefor the vmlinux
and unstripped modules would be needed in a linux-debug-2.6.x-x-all
package carrying these would be nice. See the following discussion
about systemtap for example:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2008-q3/msg00048.html
This is not a issue for people building their own kernels, but
for people tracing production systems running released debian
kernels, where no debuginfo is preserved from the build.

"rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups
