I disagree. People who want the bare vmlinux can use the
configuration option install_vmlinux to get the debugging symbols
they need -- but we should not bloat the shipped package with the
extra vmlinux, no more than we bloat ordinary packages with debugging
symbols.
Just like other packages, it is easy enough to recreate the
kernel image package with debugging symbols built in, and that should
be all that is required.
