making a kernel .deb file with make-kpkg

[Alain Toussaint <alaint@boisfrancs.qc.ca>]

i wanted to rebuild my kernel and decided to try using the make-kpkg
utility,i read the info file,run make menuconfig,make dep,make clean and
finaly make-kpkg --zimage,it compiled thing but it gave me only a zImage
file,i searched long and large in the info file (read it 3 times) for
instruction on how to create a .deb file out of my compiled kernel and
found nothing,does anyone know here how i can create such package or at
least do this:

       kernel_image
              This  target produces a Debian package of the Linux
              kernel source image, and any modules configured  in
              the kernel configuration file .config.  If there is
              no .config file in the kernel source  directory,  a
              default  configuration  is  provided similar to the
              one used to create the Debian  boot-floppies.   The
              package  produced updates the /boot/psdatabase file
              at install time, it also update symbolic  links  in
              the root directory to point to the new kernel image
              in /boot.  It also offers to run the Linux  loader,
              LILO,  creating  a  configuration  file for LILO if
              needed.  It also offers to put the new kernel on  a
              floppy,  formatting the floppy if needed.  On dele^m
              tion, the package checks the version of the  kernel
              running, and refuses to delete a running kernel.

where do i define this option,i tried it on the command line ( make-kpkg
--targets=kernel_image ) but this hasn't worked,also,another
question,what's the difference between a zImage kernel and a bzImage one
???

thanks a lot

Alain
