However, there _is_ a way to avoid this. You can create different
Flavours of the same kernel which may be named 2.2.17-1,
2.2.17-2, and so on. Read about this in
/usr/share/doc/kernal-package/Flavours.gz
However you need some handwork to patch the toplevel Makefile,
but after that you can generate different kernel-"flavours" with
"make-kpkg --falvour=... ..." or even "make FLAVOUR=... ...".
