I could be wrong here but I think this is a matter of xen itself did not 
always support bzImage kernel boot until sometime later in version 3.X 
and make-kpkg hasn't been updated to allow for it.  Something along 
those lines I believe.   I think the patch is better described as a hack 
though and its ok to upload where you want so as it is described as 
such.  If anything an alternative method or actual fix may come of it.
