It already does that. The virtual package kernel-image is
provided by all kernel-image-X.XX packages.

__> dpkg -s kernel-image-2.1.43
Package: kernel-image-2.1.43
Status: install ok installed
Installed-Size: 1370
Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
Source: kernel-source-2.1.43
Version: c501
Provides: kernel-image
Suggests: lilo (>= 19.1), fdutils, kernel-doc-2.1.43
Description: Linux kernel binary image.
This package contains the Linux kernel image, the System.map file,
and the modules built by the packager. It also contains scripts that
try to ensure that the system is not left in a unbootable state
after an update.
.
If you wish to update a bootdisk, or to use a bootloader to make
installing and using the image easier, we suggest you install the latest
fdutils (for formatting a floppy to be used as boot disk), and LILO, for a
powerful bootloader. Of course, both these are optional.
