Oh, sorry, I did not read correctly.

The install kernel is defined in the package config of the classes
defined for your host.
There used to be a way to put custom (kernel and others packages
somewhere into the files section of the config space - I never figured
out how that works. I always put my custom packages in my own apt
repository. I am a bit on the run, if you don't find out yourself how to
create such a repository, I can tell you later...
