[Bug 497424] [NEW] Missing documentation about vmlinux / linux-image-debug.ddeb

[Steffen Neumann]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: oprofile

Hi,

The README.Debian.gz has some information about how to build 
a working vmlinux: make-kpkg with install_vmlinux=YES in /etc/kernel-pkg.conf.

The #ubuntu-kernel team strongly discurages that:

  [14:16] <smb> sneumann, nooooo, please not make-kpkg
  [14:16] <smb> sneumann, There is no warranty this ever has (for a while) or will work

and pointed me to the linux-image-debug-2.6.31-*.ddeb 
available from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/

I guess that should be added to the documentation of oprofile.
The bug #/289087 gives some background and links.

Yours,
Steffen
