Ok,
i had the oportunity to try this out with real packages now, and noticed
some stuff needed fixing, which i did. Here is the new mkvmlinuz
attached.
Still the powerpc kernels i built behave strangely, and don't generate
the initrd, which probably means i should not reboot until this is
fixed.

subversion repo.

As long as we do not run the risk of accidentally clobbering any
existing /boot/vmlinuz- files, fine. That could be done through
more elaborate checks in the script itself or through a debconf
question, do it as yo
