I would try reading the ppc section in /usr/share/kernel-package/rules

Unless I'm very much mistaken the rules for finding the right image for 
an arch is written there :-)

For instance prep:
ifneq (,$(findstring $(KPKG_SUBARCH),PReP prep))
KPKG_SUBARCH:=prep
loader := NoLoader
kimage := zImage
target = $(kimage)
kimagesrc = $(shell if [ -d arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/boot/images ]; then \
       echo arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/boot/images/$(kimage).prep ; else \
       echo arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/boot/$(kimage) ; fi)
kimagedest = $(INT_IMAGE_DESTDIR)/vmlinuz-$(version)
DEBCONFIG = $(CONFDIR)/config.prep
endif

Shouldn't be too difficult figuring out how to change that to acomodate 
a flying horse, eh? ;-)
