I was under the impression that Debian had a bunch of kernel patches
in the Debian diffs as well as the Debianization info. Given an
arbitrary new kernel, some of these patches may fail. Whereas
kernel-package via make-kpkg just includes the debian/* stuff which is
all I care about.

Without doubt.
