I think you did. --revision only plays with the name of the package itself.
It's useful to keep all your different flavours of the same kernel seperate.
Otherwise, each subsequent compile will overwrite the previous package in
/usr/src.
You might be looking for the --append-to-version flag, which actually fudges
the version.h file of the kernel. Check the make-kpkg manual for details.
