This can be done with make-kpkg, but this brings up a question:

I see that the kernel's README file no longer mentions symlinks in
/usr/include.

Since the headers were put into libc6-dev instead of being linked to
kernel-headers, what is the correct procedure to use when compiling on a
2.2.x system?  Should the libc6-dev headers be used or the ones from the
kernel?
