I don't like dependencies, and kernel-patch is one extra to build the
images. The kernel-image packages is from the method the same as for
i386 and alpha. Without the dependencies we must not play with debhelper,
kernel-package and other possible buggy packages.

No, the kernel-image package is only debian/* with patches, the source
comes from Xu (the kernel-source-xxxxx.bz2).
