The official Debian installer images must install Debian-packaged kernels. I would oppose introduction of any new kernel flavours that do not use an initrd, and I don't want to see any new ARM flavours in general. So I think you will need to install a second u-boot. Or, if the kernel can somehow support a concatenated initramfs image then you could do that (but I think this is a boot-loader feature which these machines presumably don't have).
