[Bug 289087] Re: Missing linux-image-debug packages and metapackages since Intrepid

[Alain Kalker]

I would like to make a few updates, improvements to Chris's very helpful howto/workaround for building your own debug symbols (post #23):
- doing just `apt-get linux` will get 'linux-meta' package which we don't need: let apt figure out which source package to get.
- also don't install recommended packages: this saves you installing ~ 800MB worth of unneeded packages (mostly texlive), you might need that space after all for building the ddeb ...

So I'm using:

apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
apt-get build-dep -no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)
cd linux-2.6.32/
fakeroot make -f debian/rules binary-generic skipdbg=false
