After a make dist on 2.0-testing (almost the same as 2.0.7 at this time) I 
get:
---
mark@maw48:~/xen/xen-2.0.hg/dist/install/boot$ ls
config-2.6.11.12-xen0        vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-xen0  xen-2.0.7.gz
config-2.6.11.12-xenU        vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-xenU  xen-2.0.gz
System.map-2.6.11.12-xen0    vmlinuz-2.6.11-xen0     xen-2.gz
System.map-2.6.11.12-xenU    vmlinuz-2.6.11-xenU     xen.gz
vmlinux-syms-2.6.11.12-xen0  vmlinuz-2.6-xen0        xen-syms-2.0.7
---
Where most of the files you see are actually symlinks: vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 
symlinks to vmlinuz-2.6.11-xen0 symlinks to vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-xen0.

Also, I get:
---
mark@maw48:~/xen/xen-2.0.hg$ head linux-2.6.11-xen0/Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 11
EXTRAVERSION = .12$(XENGUEST)
XENGUEST = -xen0
NAME=Woozy Beaver

# *DOCUMENTATION*
# To see a list of typical targets execute "make help"
# More info can be located in ./README
---
Where EXTRAVERSION shows the patch has been applied...

If this isn't working for you, maybe it'll be fixed by using -testing: it's 
pretty conservative, so it shouldn't generally introduce any regressions.

Cheers,
Mark
