and put them into a new -dbgsym package for usage with
crash/kdump-tools/...

fixes #3465, and now allows to do the following (after installing
and configuring kdump-tools to collect kernel crash dumps) when the
system crashes:

  $ apt install pve-kernel-5.11.21-1-dbgsym
  $ crash /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-5.11.21-1-pve /var/crash/202106151236/dump.202106151236

Notes:
    requires a recent enough version of kdump-tools/makedumpfile, so bullseye+
    unless we provide our own backport for buster..
    
    the resulting package is obviously quite large, so we don't want to install it
    automatically

+Description: The Proxmox PVE Kernel debug image
+ This package provides the kernel debug image for version @KVNAME at . 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.
