Out of interest, why not?  The first request for additional
information after a panic report is virtually always to perform a
backtrace against a debug kernel to get line numbers.  IMHO, having a
debug kernel supplied with -RELEASE would seem very useful for people
who don't rebuild their kernel.  Note that, last time I checked, it
is not at all clear that '-g' does not change the generated code so
you can't guarantee to be able to do a '-g' build after the fact and
generate a traceback.

I'm not suggesting that kernel.debug has to be part of CD 1, but I
believe it would make a worthwhile addition to (eg) the live
filesystem CD.
