I have the cross-compilers from Thorsten installed and could just build a
kernel for amiga from Geert's m68k repo. I trimmed down the config a bit
and removed some not needed drivers. The kernel is now 3698472 bytes big.
I still find that huge, but it allowed me to boot without a memfile to
reduce the RAM! Alas, no SCSI support for the B2060...

The official Debian package fails to cross-compile when building the
hid-microsoft module, maybe its time to disable that? Probably this is not
set in the m68k config, but in the "main" debian config. I am not sure if I
can override that, it may be easier to build kernels (for testing and the
buildds) another way. kernel-package?

Yes, please!
