What does co-existance mean in this context? Multiple kernel packages can already be installed in parallel - do you mean something else? > 2) have its own bootloader entries rather than stealing /boot/vmlinuz > and /boot/initrd Installing any kernel package in addition to an already installed one does the following: - Rename the existing vmlinuz and initrd symlinks to .previous - Create new vmlinuz and initrd symlinks pointing to the just installed kernel - Create a new bootloader entry named "Previous kernel" pointing to the .previous symlinks Changing this behaviour for kernel-debug is questionable because the same script is being used for all kernel flavours. It would be some work and also a bit inconsistent IMHO - currently the last installed kernel "wins", but the previous one is still available. > It would also be great if crash Require'd kernel-debuginfo.

I don't know if it's even possible to add dependencies manually for these packages.
