If you actually *read* Manoj's posting, you'll realize that the entire
posting was about using make-kpkg is while compiling your own kernels.
make-kpkg is a way for you to integrate those self-compiled kernels
into the Debian packaging system.
I've used make-kpkg for nearly two years, and I don't use pre-compiled
Debian kernels. I never have.
If, for whatever reason, you don't want that, fine, but don't bitch
about it when packages which are kernel-version dependent follow
Debian's standard. We (more properly, Manoj) have provided a way to
achieve this---if you don't bother to actually investigate, even when
you're told about it, then you reap what you sow.
Mike.
