Interesting observation. If 'make installkernel KERNCONF=name' does not
install a debug version of the kernel it should not install debug
versions of the modules as well.

However, it would be very useful to have something like a 'make
installkerneldebug' target which does install the debug versions of both
kernel and modules (I now install the debug kernel manually).
