[OT?] is there no package containing the raw "vmlinux" kernel image?

ah, super, i missed that first top-level one -- i'll add that info
to the tutorial. the current version of the tutorial is here:
http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/intermission-building-vmlinux-file-under-ubuntu-free-lesson
in fact, i did a quick test and diff'ed the .config that was used
for the build against the one for the current kernel under /boot and
the only diff was the one line of date/time stamp. so i'm confident
it's going to match. thanks muchly, i think i finally have this under
control.

p.s. i will point my students at the tutorial and let *them* sanity
check it as well. i'm sure they'll find any mistakes in short order.
