Well, when it boots, if you've done things right you'll use your kernel.

You mentioned:
  "This kernel is also available through apt-get so I can install it in my
  post-installation script."

so I assumed that you would add that package.

No, you need to use pv-grub and then grub will load your kernel assuming
that it has the right configuration.

I would suggest using the uec seed, and also getting grub-legacy-ec2
package.
