Debian is moving toward equality among kernels- hurd, bsd, and even windows (gah!).
IIRC, Debian Gnu/HURD and Debian GNU/BSD work already, and Windows isn't being seriously worked on. If interested, there's a mailing list to join at debian.org (and archives to read). So it doesn't make sense to name linux kernel kernel-image, linux kernel becomes linux-kernel-image or linux-image, and the latter is more concise. At least I think that's the reason. Haven't been privy to the actual discussions, but I bet you can find them in the developer list archives.
