a kernel build most commonly outputs a zImage; this is then converted to an uImage for u-boot consumption with some rune like: mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none \ -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n Linux \ -d vmlinuz-2.6.35-1001-omap \ uImage-linaro
Couldn't we simply use the kernel tree "make uImage" rule, and put the uImage in the kernel binary packages, rather than reduplicating this elsewhere? Of course, which kernel tree targets to build may then become board-specific, which might be seen as a disadvantage.
I've tended to treat the kernel tree rule as the canonical way of generating a valid uImage, though maybe not everyone will agree with that.
