The best way to do this is to add additional packages to the linux
source package, especially if those packages are small and only used
on ARM and possibly x86 to be used as a coreboot payload.
Alternatively you could add an additional source package that
build-depends on the linux-source binary package.
The patch would need to get accepted into mainline though.
> A statically linked kexec binary sounds simple enough. A tiny init to run it (or a modification of kexec to act as a specialized init), both seems like simple code that could be packaged. Also u-root is a simple go source code producing a single binary (cpio file), could be easy to package. Any thoughts?
These sound easy to package indeed. It seems Debian already has the
init applet enabled in busybox, so you could probably use that.
