+A new kernel configuration knob is available, `SPLIT_KERNEL_DEBUG`, which
+controls splitting of kernel and module debug data into separate
+standalone files.
+This interacts with the `WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS` option, which operates
+differently than in 13.0-RELEASE and {releasePrev},
+but similarly to prior releases; it now controls only installation
+of the debug data.
+The defaults are `WITH_KERNEL_SYMBOLS` and `WITH_SPLIT_KERNEL_DEBUG`,
+allowing the kernel and modules without debug data to be installed
+in [.filename]#/boot#, and standalone debugging files to be installed
+in [.filename]#/usr/lib/debug#, as was done by default in releases
+before 13.0-RELEASE.
+Using `WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS` and `WITH_SPLIT_KERNEL_DEBUG`,
+standalone debugging files are generated but not installed,
+as when using `WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS` in releases before 13.0-RELEASE.
+Finally, using `WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS` and `WITHOUT_SPLIT_KERNEL_DEBUG`
