-         If you say Y here the resulting Xen will include debugging info
-         resulting in a larger binary image.
+         Say Y here if you want to build Xen with debug information. This
+         information is needed e.g. for doing crash dump analysis of the
+         hypervisor via the "crash" tool.
+         Saying Y will increase the size of the xen-syms and xen.efi
+         binaries. In case the space on the EFI boot partition is rather
+         limited, you may want to make use of the INSTALL_EFI_STRIP make
+         variable when building the hypervisor, in order to strip xen.efi
+         before installing it to the EFI partition.
