Split modules packages



Hi folks

I need some input on the following feature: split modules package. Aka
linux-2.6 should build *-image-*-powerpc and *-image-*-powerpc-miboot.
Both depends on *-modules-*-powerpc. They share the same ABI and are
only linked different.

To do this properly, the functionality of the current maintainer scripts
needs to be split into two:
- image: The whole bootloader thing.
- modules: initramfs generation.

There are two or three other occurances of this problem:
- xen. At least until Xen is able to load bzImage.
- alpha-generic/alpha-legacy.
- powerpc64/powerpc64-ps3. Not sure. The kernel source shows a different
  linked image.

Any comments?
