Agree.
And I would do that but I have no other setup except arm64
and x86 to test such changes.

However, possible solution could be in the same manner:
add extra rule into make file to provide correct KBUILD_IMAGE
value by "make image_name" command. Also builddeb script should
be updated with such command call before copy. Thus for each
architecture it would be possible to provide correct path along
with filename.
