I tried it, without success.

# stap open.stop
cannot find module kernel debuginfo: No DWARF info found
#

I tried it with a custom build kernel and it works fine.
Without the -debug package, systemtap complains about the absence of the 
vmlinux file altogether. But I think that the vmlinux provided in the 
-debug package don't have debuginfos... Possible?
