We also build a complete image, it is the bootloader that needs the kernel and the initramfs as separate files before it can mount the RFS image.

I see... however, in my case switching from extlinux to grub at the current stage would cost a lot of work, which is not covered in the project's budget.

The patch would be very welcome as it would save me exercises like this one:

    linux_ver=$(grep linux-image ${build_name}.xml | sed -e 's/.*<pkg>//' -e 's/linux-image-//' -e 's/<\/pkg>.*//')
    rm -rf ${build_name}/target
    mkdir -p ${build_name}/target/boot
    elbe control get_file --output $build_name $build_dir target/boot/vmlinuz-${linux_ver}

Best,
Lukasz
