An oversight, apparently, in kernel-package (from what little I've looked
into the situation).  You'll definitely need an initrd, though, so you'll
need to wield mkinitramfs appropriately.  I've also had issues with depmod
not running first, so I always run depmod <kernel version> before building
my initrd.

You'll want to give your dom0 more than that.
