I find make-kpkg one of the best features in Debian - Yes, I know few
people need to recompile the kernel, but -as I said in my past
message- this is something Debian-specific, and you don't need to get
deep in its usage. Try something like:
If you need to compile a custom version of the kernel for your
system, we advise you to use kernel-package. Documentation for its
usage can be found in 'man make-kpkg'. In short, it will automate
the various stages of building and installing a kernel into a
Debian package. You will usually call it with 'make-kpkg
--append-to-version mymachine --revision 1.0 --config menu
kernel_image'
It can even be shorter :)
