Bug#405810: Please provide package with vmlinuX, similar to kernel-debuginfo on redhat
As a workaround for this if you want the kernel symbols for OProfile,
you can use this script instead of opreport:
http://marc.info/?l=oprofile-list&m=121514749918466&q=p3
It fetches kernel symbol information from /proc/kallsyms and lists
them in a format identical to what opreport -l uses.
