Yes, that is a very nice solution, although you also might say that
having "two versions" of the same kernel file could be confusing
(and/or wasteful). Also, please note that you might want debug
versions of all kernel modules in the same place, since those can
cause crashes too, alas.
May I suggest /var/crash as a possible location? :) Since you'll be
looking in there anyway if you need to debug a crash dump.
(On the other hand, I've been installing debug kernels for the past
year or so, always using make installkernel.debug, and then renaming
all /boot/kernel/*.debug files to their basenames, but this is rather
cumbersome. However, you always have all debugging info in one
place.)
