That doesn't do what you think it does at all. Specifically,
'make-kpkg modules' attempts to build signed uploadable versions of
kernel module packages that have their source unpacked under
/usr/src/modules (or $MODULES_LOC, if that's set). Most people will
want to use 'make-kpkg modules-image', which doesn't sign the
modules. And in any case, this won't rebuild the modules that are
built from the kernel source tree; you need to re-run 'make-kpkg
kernel-image' for that. (It wouldn't hurt to bump the kernel revision
number if you do this, though that might require you to rebuild all of
your external modules, too.)
