 Ah I see what you mean; this might be something we need to raise to the
 initramfs-tools / kernel teams; I see the kernel packaging guide has
 provisions which let me think that they want to support "dpkg -i
 linux-image-foo.deb" from a chroot or a mounted external storage / fs
 without triggering "grub-install" or so, but there doesn't seem to be
 room to do this across architectures.  I'm pretty sure qemu-arm works
 though.

 I'd file this against your .deb generation tool
