If you have a DEB package with your kernel, you can use the command
line tool "linaro-hwpack-replace" to replace a package contained in a
hardware pack.
It is part of "linaro-image-tools":

You should be able to call "linaro-hwpack-replace" by adding
instructions in the YAML file, as long as it is installed and
available in the PATH.
Hope it might help.
