I haven't used HyperV, but the difference is only in the drivers to include in the initramfs and potentially any guest tools to preinstall. I use qemu-img to convert the formats and produce associated files (e.g. ovf) for the target hypervisor, all done from a wrapper script around the packer job. I would gladly share the recipes.
