As above, the ddebs link is useless for me.  I'm running the current latest 
release of Ubuntu server, fully updated.  My kernel is "2.6.31-17-server".  
There is no vmlinux shipped, there doesn't appear to be one available via apt, 
and even the ddebs link noted above only contains packages for kernel 2.6.32-11.

This is pretty simple stuff guys.  When a user decides to break out
oprofile to solve problems, there should be *some* mechanism by which
they can obtain a valid vmlinux for the vendor-built kernel.  One that
doesn't involve jumping through the hoops of "figure out the vendor's
kernel build process and rebuild a new kernel exactly like the one they
shipped you, pointlessly, just to get a corresponding copy of vmlinux".

Given the current situation, I don't see why you even bothered putting
the oprofile tools in apt or enabling oprofile in your kernel builds...
