What about architectures that need different images for booting different subarchs like powerpc? (See thread "d-i and iBooks" on this list)

Alpha needs different bootloaders and last I looked 2 archs still need a special kernel.
Mipsel also needs different kernels for different subarches.

I think that concludes it.
We need kernel-version-subarch and modules-version-subarcharch-modules_flavour
Do the subarches of alpha an d mipsel need different modules? AFAIK on powerpc only the kernel-image is different because the subarches need different kernel-loaders (code to load the kernel into memory and start it).
If we only need different kernel images and can use the same modules, I would rather conclude that they should stay in the same udeb because the kernel-image from this udeb is copied to the boot media anyway. Kernel-image udebs are never installed on a system.
