Here it is:
From arch/x86/boot/install.sh:
... # User may have a custom install script
if [ -x ~/bin/${INSTALLKERNEL} ]; then exec ~/bin/${INSTALLKERNEL} "$@"; fi if [ -x /sbin/${INSTALLKERNEL} ]; then exec /sbin/${INSTALLKERNEL} "$@"; fi ...
so distros *usually* should supply a custom, distro-specific installkernel script which does that. The distros which you are seeing it on simply don't have that script installed and I need to talk to distro people as to what the rule there is for supplying such a script now.
Because most distros should supply it though and those new distros dropping it looks like some new "strategy" or so.
We'll see.
