> Ubuntu who unfortunately still don't have debug symbols matching their released kernel version (just the upcoming one), so that when I installed it on my Ubuntu system I ended up rebuilding the package in the background when I installed. Wouldn't have been a big issue if it hadn't already been so hot in the office... Admittedly not quite half a day, but several hours in total from start until I could actually use it.

Oh yes, not to mention that due to some broken sanity check in SystemTap I always got

ERROR: Build-id mismatch: "kernel" vs. "vmlinux-2.6.32-23-generic"

when I tried to run a script. I took the lazy path and compiled the check out, as I didn't have time to understand the details of what it was doing, and it worked fine after that.

Will do, I'm just always a bit embarassed reporting things I think I ought to be able to analyse myself without providing some sort of solution :)

There is nothing wrong with reporting something you ought to be able to analyze yourself but did not have the time to analyze. Besides, some things might take you hours or even days to fully analyze, but once pointed to a developer of the project, the developer sometimes is able to fully analyze and create a fix in minutes.
