Is there a reason to have multiple source packages, rather than having one source package that builds multiple binaries? You could store all the config files in debian/, iterate over them, and build and install the files for the corresponding linux-image binary package. Also, *in theory* you shouldn't need a separate linux-headers and linux-libc-dev package for each of these, just one for all of them.
