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
