+Description: The Proxmox PVE Kernel debug image
+ This package provides the kernel debug image for version @KVNAME@. The debug kernel image contained in this package is NOT meant to boot from - it is uncompressed, and unstripped, and suitable for use with crash/kdump-tools/.. to analyze kernel crashes. This package also contains the pve-kernel modules in their unstripped version.
