	Actually, since yo have done it, you have way more experience
 with the process than I (I just do the make-kpkg end). Could you
 please document what you did? I shall chime in and add what make-kpkg
 provides, and what targets it calls. 

	Why do you get the kernel version from files? make-kpkg
 provides the kernel version in the environment var KVERS, as well as
 the location of the kernel source, and the maintainers name and email
 address.

	If anything else can be provided, just let me know.
