A question about the following part of the man page:

       configure
              This  target  runs  configure (actually, oldconfig)
              early, so you may edit files generated by make con­
              fig  in  the  kernel  source directory and not have
              them stomped by make-kpkg later.

What is meant by "runs configure early"? Does it pause after running
configure, so that I can edit those files? From the README I gathered I
had to:

2% make config   # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure

and then run make-kpkg. So what's to be gained with the "configure"
target?
