What're you thinking about there in terms of "cooperation with the 
bootloader and boot device"?

Either the kernel is configured to use a built-in commandline which 
isn't very flexible, or those configuration elements are coming from the 
bootloader on a kernel commandline.  If it's the latter case, it's out 
of scope for a kernel package to change that.

A related issue I found is that the package name "kernel" seems to be 
magic.  I tried making my xxx-kernel package Provides: kernel-2.6.blah, 
but it wasn't enough.  If it isn't fixed (possibly already, this was in 
F12 time), that might get a bit messy with a bunch of 
identically-named-and-arched binary packages for the different board 
kernels.
