Hey, Debian now builds dbg packages for the kernel
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365349#194
Can Ubuntu do the same?
As pointed here and in dups debugging info for released kernels is a dependency of many profiling/debugging/troubleshooting tools, and it's not just for kernel developers, so you cannot assume that anyone needing, say, systemtap is ready to deploy custom kernel build. This is especially important for LTS release as targeting enterprise. Enterprise admins just can't deploy non-official packages in production.
Please fix this in Lucid!
