A recompile is the only way I know, I'm afraid (but I'd be happy if
others can correct me).

The good news is that nowadays the kernel provides a "make deb-pkg"
rule that does not require running "make clean" between compiles.  So
if there are any other experiments you want to run later, they can be
fast.

Sorry,
