linux-image-debug packages?

[Sean Timothy Noonan]

I spent the past few days discussing this problem with Martin Pitt and
he directed me to email the ubuntu-kernel list, which doesn't seem to
exist.  If you think this message should go somewhere other than
kernel-team, please let me know.

It seems that ddebs no longer contains any relevant debug packages for
the kernel.  I'm attempting to use systemtap (which is installable from
the repositories), so it would be nice to have these packages available.
I'm willing to build them myself if that's what it takes, but they
aren't built when simply building the kernel package...

ii  linux-image-se 2.6.28.11.15   Linux kernel image on Server
Equipment.

The 2.6.28 ddebs were added earlier this week and the
13.44 kernel hasn't been approved yet, so I can't even run it :(.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.28-13.44/+build/1055413

Is there any way to rebuild the debug packages for 2.6.28-11.42?  I've
tried setting AUTOBUILD to a non null value (true) in 0-common-vars.mk
but the build dies while building the debug packages.  I've also tried
setting skipdbg in the same file to false.

Any help would be much appreciated - I'm basically in a bind as I need
systemtap but also need some other Ubuntu features.

Thanks,

Sean
