Package: kernel-package
Version: 12.032
Severity: normal

I'm building a old 2.6.18 kernel with dom0 Xen 3.3 support. From what I 
understand Xen 3.3 does not support the bzImage format, so I tried to make-kpkg 
with the --zimage option. While building I see the following line:

exec debian/rules  INITRD=YES  IMAGE_TYPE=zImage  kernel_image 

However, the build eventually fails with:

cp: cannot stat `arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [debian/stamp/install/linux-image-2.6.18.8-dom0] Error 1

This seems to be that its still trying to build/use the bzImage even though I 
specify the --zimage flag. I found I could fix this problem by hacking the 
/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/arches/amd64.mk file and changing the line 
which unconditially says "target          = bzImage" to "target         = 
vmlinuz".

Has support for the zimage flag been dropped? If so why? Or has this option 
just been broken.

thanks
