Er... not quite. uupdate is in the "devscripts" package, and is
part of a Debian maintainers toolset. I presume that you have used
"kernel-package" so that your existing kernel source has a "debian"
directory. You `chdir /usr/src/kernel-source-foo` and run `uupdate -u
../linux.tar.gz` in order to merge the Debian kernel tree with the
"official" one.
You can find more information in the Debian New Maintainer's
Guide.

Right. It's not a make target; it's a program.
