Context: I originally filed that bug because there was no way to verify
signatures of some of the images we output (namely the /installer-$arch/
images in the archive); some of these were available on cdimage IIRC,
but I think it made sense to have d-i's images signed like everything
else in the archive.   Since then, the "rootstock" tool was written by
Oliver to create armel rootfses and virtual machines running Ubuntu (a
virtual machine might be started during rootstock's run) and so needed
to download just the vmlinuz file; this is why I revived this bug report
a bit as to allow rootstock to pull from a straightforward location
rather than the quite indirect path Oliver mentioned.

It's hard for me to judge at what deadline this should be implemented
for Oliver to have the time to adapt rootstock, ideally if the signed
kernels could be available in the next weeks or month, that would seem
nice, but I can't judge of the relative importance of this feature when
compared to other ones.
