scripts/package/buildtar checks some kernel packages, and copies the first image found. This may potentially produce an inconsistent (and possibly wrong) package. For instance, the for-loop for arm64 checks Image.{bz2,gz,lz4,lzma,lzo}, and vmlinuz.efi, then copies the first image found, which might be a stale image created in a previous build. When CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT is enabled in the pristine source tree, 'make ARCH=arm64 tar-pkg' will build and copy vmlinuz.efi. This is the expected behavior. If you build the kernel with CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT disabled, Image.gz will be created, which will remain in the tree until you run 'make clean'. Even if CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT is turned on later, 'make ARCH=arm64 tar-pkg' will copy stale Image.gz instead of the latest vmlinuz.efi, as Image.gz takes precedence over vmlinuz.efi. In summary, the code "[ -f ... ] && cp" does not consistently produce the desired outcome. Other packaging targets are deterministic; deb-pkg and rpm-pkg copies ${KBUILD_IMAGE}, which is determined by CONFIG options. I removed [ -f ... ] checks from x86, alpha, parisc, and the default because they have a single kernel image to copy. If it is missing, it should be an error. I did not modify the code for mips, arm64, riscv. Instead, I left some comments. Eventually, someone may fix the code, or at the very least, it may discourage the copy-pasting of incorrect code to another architecture.
