Currently debugging kernels are not installed by default. Would it be 
possible to add a flag in make.conf to allow a kernel.debug to be 
installed along side the regular kernel? This way people can set things 
up once and not having to worry about digging around for a kernel with 
symbols if a panic should occur.

I know there's there's an installkernel.debug target under /usr/src, 
but I'm unclear as to what it does. Does it install both the regular 
and debugging kernels, or just the debugging one?

Just a suggestion.
