Source: base-installer
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I got asked this while working on the arm64 installer:
Install the base system
-----------------------
The list shows the available kernels. Please choose one of them in
order to
make the system bootable from the hard drive.
Kernel to install:
1: linux-image-3.14-2-arm64 [*], 3: none,
2: linux-image-3.14-2-arm64-dbg,
Prompt: '?' for help, default=1>
And adding a simple case to the test suite shows the issue for amd64 too, I
suspect all arches have this issue:

linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64-dbg should be unusable
amd64: 8 passes, 1 failures.
It seems this has been the case since -dbg packages were introduced (at least
Wheezy if not sooner) so this apparently isn't causing issues in the real world
(not sure why arm64 asked me that question...), so not a huge worry I don't
think but filing so it doesn't get lost.
Ian.
