Bug Description

$ dpkg -c linux-image-4.18.0-1003-kvm_4.18.0-1003.3_amd64.deb | grep boot
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2018-10-05 14:30 ./boot/

The linux-kvm package should ship a copy of the kernel config in /boot, the same as the other kernel flavors (cf generic).

I'm not sure i understand what you mean here, since /boot/config-* file is part of linux-modules-$ver-generic since Xenial (i didn't check before that): perhaps you wanted the kvm flavour to be an exception by shipping /boot/config has part of linux-image? And why in that case?

Ok, disregard my previous comment: config file was part of linux-image until kernel signing was implemented - nonetheless, nowadays linux-image generic doesn't ship the config file anymore - any reason why you don't install linux-modules? Is this issue still relevant?
