Ah. Drive by criticism.

The output from kernel-package is mostly the output from the
underlying kernel build system, so I am intrigued by this comment.

Parse error. A use gets kernels from kernel.org, does not have
a .config, and kernel-package provides one. Would it not make sense
for the config provided to be as close to the config the official
packages use? make defconfig does not, as far as I know, give you the
config that debian uses -- it just produces a .config from the
default values of config elements, which is nowhere close to the same
thing.
