Bug Description
Binary package hint: systemtap
If you have no kernel debug image package installed, systemtap won't work as expetced. It should require or at least recommend installing a linux-debug dependency for the running kernel.
Another issue I experienced is that systemtap is not looking at the right kernel debug file, event if you have it installed. I had to manually create a symbolic link from /boot/vmlinux-
I'm not sure if the *-dbg-* naming scheme is a Debian convention, but maybe it should try to look at these files too.
