[RFC] Proposal for Adding a Dedicated Debug Kernel Package to Debian(follow-up from DebCamp on DebConf25)

[Yunseong Kim <ysk@kzalloc.com>]

Hi Debian Kernel Team,

It was a pleasure speaking with Ben at DebConf25. I’m following up on our
conversation regarding the idea of introducing a dedicated debug kernel package
in the Debian.

I believe having an easily selectable debug-enabled kernel would be a significant
benefit for users, particularly during board bring-up or when troubleshooting
kernel-related issues. I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether this might be a
direction worth exploring.

As a potential reference point, Fedora’s approach to debug kernel configuration
could be quite helpful. Their debug-config is available in the Rawhide branch:

I look forward to your feedback when you have a chance.

Warm regards,
