So, why is the wrapper not present in the package :

$ dpkg -L linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc 
...
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/crt0.o
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/wrapper.a
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/of.o
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/empty.o
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/zImage.lds
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/zImage.coff.lds
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/addnote
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/hack-coff
/usr/lib/linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc/mktree
...
$ dpkg -L linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc 
...
Version: 2.6.21-4
...
