Currently:

vmlinuz-$VER: Not marked as executable and therefore not splitted into
              binary + .debug 
vmlinux: Copied directly into /usr/lib/debug and therefore its stripped part is
         duplicite to the vmlinuz-$VER one

Proposing:

vmlinuz-$VER: Marked as executable, split into a separete vmlinuz-$VER.debug
vmlinux: Just a symlink into vmlinuz-$VER, GDB will load the vmlinuz-$VER.debug
         file for it.  This symlink could be dropped but some tools may expect
         the /lib/modules/$VER/vmlinux file to exist.  Still they will now have
         to deal with the split binary + .debug file for it.

If you agree I can test if it works well, it takes a lot of time to build it.
