kernel --append-to-version

["Fred J." <phddas@yahoo.com>]

Hi

I just built a kernel based on the steps below and got this 
linux-image-2.6.16.060919_2.6.16.060919-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

my quetion is why this "2.6.16.060919_2.6.16.060919" and not just
"2.6.16.060919"?
the steps were as follows:

thanks

$ sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.16
$ cd /usr/src
$ rm linux
$ tar -jxf linux-source-2.6.16.tar.bz2 
$ ln -s linux-source-2.6.16 linux
$ cd linux
$ cp /boot/config-2.6.15-1-686 .config
$ make oldconfig
$
 make menuconfig
$ fakeroot make-kpkg clean
$ fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=.060919 kernel_image


once I fix this problem I will do 
$ cd ../
$ su
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.16.060919_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
# rm linux
# cd /boot
# mkboot /boot/vmlinuz-"new kernel"
# dpkg -P kernel-image-"old kernel"
