Speaking of which... it sure would be nice if the debug build would
generate 'kernel' instead of 'kernel.debug'. I've got scripts which
install kernels, and it's really annoying to have debug builds generate
one filename and non-debug builds generate another. ( Not only that, but
the debug build currently leaves old 'kernel' files sitting around,
which is seriously confusing ).
When the debug kernel is installed, strip it then. I don't see any
advantage to naming the debug kernel differently in the build directory.
Just call it 'kernel' whether it is a debug kernel or not.
