As mentioned by Martin, kernel-install is (in theory) agnostic of the used boot loader. As such, it makes sense to keep it out of systemd-boot and in the more general systemd package.

Given that the size of kernel-install is rather tiny and it doesn't drag in any additional dependencies, I would for now not see any strong incentives to move it out of the main systemd package.

I'm thus tentatively closing this bug report as wontfix, unless we are presented with stronger reasons why the tool should be moved.

Regards,
Michael
