I guess for now let the user manually sign & pack with vboot-utils. The location of the chromium boot partition is unpredictable. Maybe setup a file in /etc/sysconfig/ with parameters. The approach suggested at FUDcon2013 in Lawrence was have a version of uboot signed with vboot-utils and use that to boot up the actual kernel. uboot doesn't change nearly as fast as the kernel do and this will make the install process more like the other arm installations for the kernel. > > Vboot-utils should be accepted soon once my sponsor reviews the package BZ.

It takes a little while to set things up and build the kernel and install it.
