	You could also grab the raw source and use kernel-package
package to generate your new image package.  This is the recommended
method for generating custom kernel images.

	The self compiled kernel, if you do it using kernel-package
package, will also "Provide" kernel-image. 

Brian> If I recall, some other package used to depend on the image but

	This is true about kernel version.

	No, since if you follow the recommended method of generating
kernel images, this will work.
