The 'make-kpkg --revision=libretto.1.0 kernel_image' seemed to finish
fine, but...

The 'make-kpkg modules_image' didn't seem to work. It ends with a
	/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/include/linux/modversions.h does not exist!
	    To fix, run 'make dep' in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8.
	
	Configuration failed.
	
	make[2]: *** [.prereq.ok] Error 1
	make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs'
	make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2
	make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs'
	Module /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs failed.
	Hit return to Continue

And if I follow the instruction and type 'make dep' I get
	*** Warning: make dep is unnecessary now.

Any ideas on what is going wrong...

The non-found modversions.h file seems to actually exsit in
	/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/include/config/modversions.h
rather than
	/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/include/linux/modversions.h
