You need to define and 'epoch' for your kernel.  When running make-kpkg,
prepend something like '3:' to your kernel version.  So it would look
something like:
# make-kpkg --revision 3:2.2.15-9 

The debian kernel images (the ones distributed on the servers) use the
default value of '0' for the epoch, so they'll never replace your image.
