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 think you meant I'm wrong about having to do with make-kpkg. If Xen
did not support bzImage until 3.4.0 then I think that had plenty to do
with why the Makefile is patched the way it is. make-kpkg is able to
build vmlinuz or bzImage as you want with a vanilla kernel, so why not
with a Xenified kernel?
With andrew's patch applied it appears that the else condition would
still allow for also building the bzImage target but that fails even
when passing the --bzimage switch to make-kpkg. Either something is
wrong with the Makefile or maybe there are some arch Xen specific build
rules coming in to play.
