Best way to do this is to go again to the kernel tree, do a make config (or
menuconfig/xconfig) and the get the .config file and save it in
/usr/src/kernel-patches/powerpc/config.subarch.

Or else, you can just configure the kernel klike you want, and then run
make-kpkg on it. make-kpkg will use the existent .config if there is one.

But anyway, kernel-package is very very buggy, ...
