Did you remember to modify the top level Makefile (patches
that may work included in /usr/doc/kernel-package/FLAVOUR.gz)? The
--revision only affects the name of the kernel-image, and nothing on
the file system. This limitation (the required patch) is what lead to
the latter append-to-version feature (which needed the EXTRAVERSION
var i the MAkefile to work). FLAVOUR predates the EXTRAVERSION
mechanism.

append-to-version is a post-potato innovation, unfortunately.
