The "debian/scripts/config-check" script can be changed to allow additional annotations files to act as overlays over the original annotations file, allowing custom kernels to override the policies just for the relevant configs. As an initial proposal, any file matching the pattern "$DEBIAN/config/*.annotations" could be considered as an overlay file and policies could be overridden on a config basis. That means that any mention to a config in the overlay file would discard all the policies for that config in the original file.
