IIRC, the size limit is 3.4MB for sparc64 and 2.4 for sparc32. However,

Well I am wrong. 2.1MB is the size of the 2.6.8 image. The one of the
2.6.16rc2 is 2.9MB. That explains the problem, we have 500kB of stuff to
remove...
That's not really necessary. We are usually reducing the size of the
kernel to acceptable by stripping the sparc32 kernel of non-essential
sections by running the command:
strip -R .comment -R .note -K sun4u_init -K _end -K _start arch/sparc/boot/image
I've implemented it in the new packaging system too, and I see in the
build log that it has been invoked, however the image which got into the
deb appears to be unstripped. I'll investigate that. In the meantime use
this command to reduce the image size on installed system (you'll have to
ungzip it first).
