I now know what was going on. Despite debian/rules not directly using
make-kpkg, the build process somehow uses code delivered by
kernel-package, which in turn honors ~/.kernel-pkg.conf, which on my
system has config_target := menuconfig.
That's a gotcha.

Can you please explain that? I am trying to convert a Debian source
package (consisting of .orig.tar.gz, diff.gz and .dsc) into a set of
Debian binary packages (.deb). The usual way to do so is to use the
debuild command (or another of the dpkg-buildpackage frontends
available in numerous different flavours) after installing
build-essential and all packages listed in the Build-Depends line in
debian/control.
I must be missing something here, please enlighten me.
Greetings
Marc
