  This old dog has tried make-kpkg but keeps falling back on the 'old'
way.  That said, I did 'try' make-kpkg before I wrote in, but forgot
to mention it.  It had the same problem as make dep, of course.

  I 'think' I had a procedure problem.  I did 'make menuconfig' and
IIRC I saved the .config then ran 'make mrproper', moved the saved 
config to .config, and then did 'make dep'. If I had to do it again I
would do 'mrproper' before the 'menuconfig'.  I 'think' thats where I
screwed up.
  
  Humm, does make-kpkg do a 'make mrproper'?  I'll have to check
that.
