These commands build a new kernel image package, which would show up
in the GRUB menu as an option at boot time like the rest of them.  It
does not affect any other kernel versions that might already be
installed.

The next upload of linux in Debian sid includes this patch and will
probably show up in the archive some time in the next few days.

Hope that helps,
