Hi,

First of all, please keep me in CC if you response to that mail as I am not 
subscribed to the kernel-team list. 

I have one question of an issue that really bugs me: Why are there no dbgsym 
builds of the mainline kernels?
It is really nice to have the mainline builds, but after all those are the 
latest (experimental) kernels, which will have bugs and debugging without 
debug symbols is not really helpful. 
Kernel panics will be not debugable without the symbols, so my question is: 
Will you provide that in the future? 
What are the difficulties to be solved in order to provide debug symbols?

Greetings,

Esokrates
