Also what is gained by running it, as long as you have the complimentary debug kernel in /var/crash (or wherever) for the stripped boot kernel. Pretty sure past discussions say nothing is gained, but some is lost by running kernel.debug rather than the stripped kernel. Maybe I missed something. I do agree with building, but not installing, a debug kernel.
