A rather late reply to a mail I found in the archives... but regarding
the usage claim, I would like to mention that people who use e.g. the
nvidia binary driver do not have much fun with the experimental kernel
images without the corresponding linux-kbuild package.

Although one can find
http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage 
after some googling, it would be nice if the package would be uploaded
as well.
