INSTALL_STRIPPED'.
    We would ship full debug GENERIC kernels instead of stripped 
kernels.
    i.e. we aren't getting rid of the ability to install a stripped 
kernel,
    we just aren't making it the default any more.
I think we could per default not strip kernels built with -g, and strip 
those that are built without -g.
