            Bug ID: 21730
           Summary: Make abipkgdiff compare Linux Kernel Packages as
                    expected
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: dodji at redhat dot com

  Target Milestone: ---

When abipkgdiff is given two kernel packages (and their ancillary debug info
packages) it should consider the uncompressed vmlinux binary that is present in
the first debug info package (at least in Fedora/EL RPMs), consider the kernel
modules present in the Kernel package, consider the union of the vmlinux and
kernel module binaries.  Let's call that union "The Kernel".

Then abipkgdiff should compare that Kernel to the Kernel from the second
package.

A bit like what kmidiff does for two Linux Kernel Trees.
