Yes, you are wrong.  It has nothing to do with Xen.
make-kpkg requires presence arch/x86/boot/bzImage to be built , otherwise
it fails.
Patch applies to arch/x86/Makefile in the way which build required bzImage,
not vmlinuz , as happens without it.

Boris.
BTW . I guess  Xen support bzImage starting with 3.4.0

I could be wrong here but I think this is a matter of xen itself did not
always support bzImage kernel boot until sometime later in version 3.X
and make-kpkg hasn't been updated to allow for it.  Something along
those lines I believe.   I think the patch is better described as a hack
though and its ok to upload where you want so as it is described as
such.  If anything an alternative method or actual fix may come of it.
