After you install kernel-patch-debianlogo and kernel-patch-powerpc you
don't have to run the patch command manually. You just run make-kpkg
and it will apply it for you. Is that what you were doing?

Is there a reason you need to compile a kernel (other than that you
just want to do it)? The precompiled kernels are actually really
good.
