I always run

 make oldconfig
 make-kpkg clean
 make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers
 make-kpkg clean
 dpkg -i ../linux-image-${KERNEL_UNAME}_${KERNEL_UNAME}-10.00.Custom_*.deb
 dpkg -i ../linux-headers-${KERNEL_UNAME}_${KERNEL_UNAME}-10.00.Custom_*.deb

by a script. It does work, but I run the script as root, so I guess I
could remove --rootcmd fakeroot ;), OTOH I suspect I used those lines as
user, before I build kernels by scripts as root.
