The kernel image maintainer uses make-kpkg to create the
kernel images, you know. I think that renaming official debian kernel
images is not a good idea (aesthetically, they are the same package,
satisfy the same dependencies, etc). I may ship kernel-package with a
commented-out-default of
/etc//kernel-pkg.conf:
...
# debian := 5:unofficial676
or something, so more people would be inclined to use that
version instead.

Tactical? TACTICAL!?!? Hey, buddy, we went from kilotons to
megatons several minutes ago. We don't need no stinkin' tactical
nukes. (By the way, do you have change for 10 million people?)
