Support for this is already there -- if the config var
install_vmlinux is set, and your architectures make snippet defines
where to find the vmlinux, and where to install it, you are done.
So, just provide data about kelfimagesrc and kelfimagedest for
files in /usr/share/kernel-package/rulesets/arches/, and then anyone
can set install_vmlinux to get the end result.
