In 'man kernel-img.conf' you can read : 

       link_in_boot
              Set to Yes if you want the symbolic link to  the  kernel image,
              namely,  vmlinuz  in  /boot rather than the default /.  The old,
              and very confusing, name image_in_boot is deprecated, since  it
              is  the symbolic link that is usually being relocated.  Defaults
              to No.

so i suppose that you should set link_in_boot=Yes on your production
system.

Get the name of the module, and add it to the /etc/hotplug/blacklist
file. It is a trivial thing to do, which is why i didn't explain more.
