Mmm, that package seems to contain kernel debug symbols not a specially pre-built kernel you can boot for debugging purposes. > Is there a non destructive and easy way to start the debugging kernel > (which I found below /usr/lib/debug/ ), without to change my whole > system?

Hum... maybe that kernel package is used to send crash reports on non- live systems (i.e., for forensic diagnostic, to dump crashes to a file that you can then send to be analyzed). > For those, who are interested in the kernel bug, take a look here: > https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22052 But wait... devel is requesting you to recomplie your current kernel with "CONFIG_USB_DEBUG" enabled and your kernel is not crashing, so do you think debug symbols are necessary in this case :-?
