I did try kernel-image packages; I found that kernel-patch worked much better. I've rewritten its rules almost from scratch. If you really want to stick with kernel-image, I suppose that's OK, but there's no real reason to have our own full kernel source in the archive when a small-in-comparison patch works just fine. I just need to fix one or two buglets in my rules file and it will build all the necessary kernels automatically. > Please ask next time the maintainer. That's why I didn't upload them.

Console-data may be taken care of. Joey Hess was working on it all of Monday. I'm seeing right now if it builds. I just committed almost all of my patches for boot-floppies to CVS. Barring the issues with kbd and console-data, it should build out of the box (only tested with my kernel-patch packages, no way bootprep.sh will go through otherwise).
