What is this for exactly?  Is this the installer or an actual root fs

I think the kernel should ship the normal zImage (like all other ARM
kernels) and then you can use uboot-mkimage to generate a bootable
kernel during the d-i build process and with flash-kernel.

The name will have to change.  Also, this can only be integrated when
we actually have a kernel in the archive.
