This does not cover the case where a system uses a method outside its
own Debian packaging system, such as BootX or a BootP/TFTP server.
Still, it's probably the best one can do with the control file.

To me this looks like the way to go. I already exchanged a few
messages with Manoj about a similar issue, namely packaging the boot
glue into /usr/lib/kernel-image-<release>, which is now done by the
debian/rules file of kernel-patch-powerpc. We ended here:
