This seems a reasonable approach and one with precident.  We use a similar
scheme for how to handle 'make install' in the kernel letting the distro
provide /sbin/installkernel so as to avoid having distro smarts for every
distro in the kernel source.

It might be nice to share some examples if you have them, but it feels a
little grubby to have them in the kernel tree.
