>     We have installed kernel debug data under /usr/lib/debug/ for some time
>     now, so the suggestion to set WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS for small root
>     partitions is no longer valid.

>     Also call them "debug symbol files" rather than just "symbol files",
>     since they contain much more than just symbols.  The kernel also
>     includes (some) symbols, regardless of the setting of this knob.
