In Intrepid it is now marked as a "debug symbol" package and lands at

  http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/

However, I agree that you aren't the first one who complains about
this, and it isn't all that obvious how to find it.

Maybe some kernel package should at least ship a README to explain how
to find it?

Thanks,

Martin
