Package: kdump-tools
Version: 1:1.5.9-7
Severity: normal

I found that with the default line is kdump-tools.default

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT crashkernel=384-:128M"

running 

dmesg | grep -i crash

does not give anything back, suggesting no memory is reserved. Changing the 
line to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT 
crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M"

gives:

[    0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.6.0-1-amd64 
root=/dev/mapper/sonny-root ro quiet crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M

confirming memory is now reserved.
