Description-en: Linux kernel crashdump setup for the latest generic kernel
This package installs all the needed infrastructure to get crashdumps from
your running system. If you are experiencing kernel crashes that cannot
be debugged normally (because the problem is infrequent or panic's the
system in such a way as to make information gathering impossible), then
you can install this package to automatically enable capture of the
vmcore on crashes.
