See the man page for kernel-pkg.conf. You need to edit/create
/etc/kernel-pkg.conf and add a line of
image_in_boot := True

I don't think is possible unless you patch the rules and image.postinst
scripts in /usr/lib/kernel-package to be a little more robust about how
they create the final kernel image in /boot.
You could file a wishlist bug against kernel-package asking for this
option.
