I see another flaw there too, $SUB would be defined as "CHRP", but there
isn't a arch/ppc/CHRPboot, it's arch/ppc/chrpboot.

Here's my version of that section (it has the added advantage of supporting
PowerMac and PReP (not sure about the latter) as well):
______________________________________________________________________

# SILO can boot gzip'ed kernel; m68k has vmlinuz, just the kernel makefiles
# don't seem to realise it.
ifeq ($(strip $(architecture)),m68k)
        gzip -9vc vmlinux > debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
        chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
else
ifeq ($(strip $(architecture)),powerpc)
PPC_SUBARCH:=$(shell awk '/machine/ { print $3 }' /proc/cpuinfo)
        ifeq ($(strip $(PPC_SUBARCH)),CHRP)
	cp arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/chrpboot/$(kimage) \
		debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
	chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
	else
	ifeq ($(strip $(PPC_SUBARCH)),PReP)
	cp arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/coffboot/$(kimage) \
		debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
	chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
	endif
	ifeq ($(strip $(PPC_SUBARCH)),PowerMac)
	# Quik can't boot compressed kernels yet, so install the
	# uncompressed image.
	# Booting from floppy or the network needs a kernel in COFF format,
	# so install it too.
	cp vmlinux debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux-$(version)
	cp arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/coffboot/$(kimage) \
		debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux.coff-$(version)
	chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux*-$(version)
	endif
else
	cp arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/boot/$(kimage) \
		debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
	chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
endif
endif
