OTOH, having a copy of kernel.debug means that people can trivially provide backtraces that are actually useful for fault-finding. I'm sure that there's previous discussion that suggested that it would be useful to include kernel.debug on CDs. Maybe it should be moved out of the 'base' set of files to help people FTPing across slow links.
