I have no idea why this manual mentions "make deb-pkg" but this is something I
would never ever think of using. Just build the kernel package like every
other Debian package:

This script is just broken and not part of Debian. I'm not even sure why it's mentioned
in the manual. It's stupid. Debian packages are built using "debian/rules" and not
some random upstream build script. I will send in some patches to LKML to get this
fixed though.
