This is already being done. Unless you mean that there should be
yet another package that does not contain vmlinuz, this means more work
in kernel-package -- especially since there is no analog in other
arches; and thus make-kpkg would need t special case powerpc, and
create a different control file on that arch -- only in some cases.

These are the three extra files that need to be copied over. I
can try creating a step in image package for all arches where
INSTALL_EXTRA_IMAGE_FILES step is invoked, and this is usually null,
but can be set to do the right thing for powerpc. This is the minimally
disruptive way to accomplish this.

The symlink should be handled like grub is -- users drop in a
script in /etc/kernel/postinst.d, if needed.
