The short answer is look here:
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html
The idea of make-kpkg was to automate that long sequence of steps; after you
configure the kernel and make the kernel image all you need to do is install
the kernel image .deb.
By default make-kpkg runs distclean (cleaner than mrproper) after building
the kernel .deb (it moves the .config file out of the way first, and
restores it afterward).
