make-kpkg by default runs "make oldconfig" and "make dep" before doing any
compiling; there's no need to do it separately.
If a patch adds configuration options, "make oldconfig" will ask you about
the new options, in the same way as "make config". The advantage of this is
that you're only asked about the new stuff.
If you use the make-kpkg option "--config=menuconfig", make-kpkg will run
"make menuconfig" after applying patches. You'll need to look for the new
configuration options. When you save and exit, make-kpkg will resume with
"make dep".
