Hi Dave,

To provide debug packages would require a major rewrite of the SPEC 
file(s) (not something Alan is prepared to do), and would also 
considerably increase the build time for each package set, and as you 
identified, the concomitant mirror size and bandwidth knock ons. But the 
first point here is the blocker, so it's not going to happen.

However, -devel packages are available for all kernel sets.

Sorry,

Phil
