There is another powerpc platform besides the AmigaOne, which boots with
U-boot images and thus would benefit from an enhanced kernel-package.
If I may ask: are you planning to get the kurobox devices officially
supported by Debian?

AFAICT the changelog doesn't mention any U-boot image support.
Which hooks are you thinking about? I took a look at the kernel-package
source code, but couldn't get a complete picture of its inner workings
yet.

Thanks for the script! I think I just have to add a line, which copies
over the cuImage.* file (the script already invokes the kernel build
process with "make all", so everything should be in place).
Thanks!
