Ho Alexey,

see scripts/pacakge/{builddeb,buildtar,mkspec}. mkspec calls make
image_name, which in turn outputs $KBUILD_IMAGE.

Right, this will not work for make rpm-pkg, since it calls make with no
explicit target and expects the file pointed to by KBUILD_IMAGE to exist
afterward. This will work if you also change the 'all' target to depend
on uImage.

Right, but the packaging targets will only build and package uImage. The
other redefinitions are there only for the avr32 install rule:

install: vmlinux
	$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(boot) BOOTIMAGE=$(KBUILD_IMAGE) $@

What some other architectures do is that the image format is selected
via Kconfig and not on the make command line. E.g. arm and sh do this.
