Does this happen with the current package?
Yes, installing kernel-debug on a Factory system where there was only kernel-default installed renames the existing vmlinuz and initrd symlinks to .previous and creates new ones pointing to kernel-debug, effectively making kernel-debug the default. The conclusion is that the kernel development pattern is not the right thing for users who just need to build an external module.
If so, I'd consider this a bug and you might want to file a bug report.
I won't file a bug report because I'm not sure that this is a real bug. It makes sense, someone who installs kernel-debug most likely wants to use it, and someone who doesn't want to use it should rather not install it. Unfortunately, it renders the kernel development pattern a no-go for just building external modules, and that in turn backs the point of having kernel-source depend on gcc and make, so that users can install a single package to get a complete kernel module build environment.
