Have you looked at the Debian kernel-package package? Seems like it
would be better to improve on that than re-invent the wheel.
Package: kernel-package
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: misc
Installed-Size: 416
Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
Version: 6.05
Depends: perl (>= 5.002-8), dpkg (>= 1.4), dpkg-dev (>= 1.4.0.9), fileutils (>= 3.16-4)
Recommends: libc-dev, gcc, debianutils, make
Suggests: kernel-source
Conffiles:
/etc/kernel-pkg.conf 28320856966555b9d568cf827129bbf8
Description: Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
This package provides the capability to create a debian
kernel-image package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a
kernel source directory tree. It can also build the kernel source
package as a debian file, the kernel headers package. In general, this
package is very useful if you need to create a custom kernel, if, for
example, the default kernel does not support some of your hardware, or
you wish a leaner, meaner kernel.
