I can only second that.
I simply ignore any distro specific kernel handling and override
the grub/yaboot entries as I desire. I also ignore any rpm or deb
for installing a kernel. I do it this way since the very beginning
and it works fine on debian and non-debian distros.

In general, I do always ignore the packet manager, but install
custom compiled software in a specific directory so it does not
interfere in any way with the distro packets.
