Bug Description

Please ship non-stripped non-compressed vmlinux files for the kernel builds, for
use with tools such as OProfile and sysprof. These don't need debug builds of
the kernels, just unstripped and uncompressed kernels.

For reference I just rebuilt a kernel using the Ubuntu Breezy config file, and
the vmlinux file is only 3.7M. I'd love to see this available in a
linux-image-dbg package.

We'll see if we can get support for this in dapper.

Is there any progress on this? I mean, will this be in dapper or not?
