In addition, make-kpkg only creates a package, it doesn't install it.
For me, I used :

    $ fakeroot make-kpkg --config=xconfig
        --append-to-version=-local.1.3 --revision=local.1.3  --initrd
        kernel_image kernel_doc kernel_headers

and got

/usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.10-local.1.3_local.1.3_i386.deb

which I then had to run 'dpkg -i' on as root.
