Hmmn, well that's what I think I was doing.
However, it's clear that there's room for improvement in the webpage,
since what it says seems to be in conflict with the man page. The former
says the patch is reversed after building, the latter says make-kpkg clean
reverses it.
The webpage also says that make-kpkg automates and replaces make dep, make
clean, ... This implies that it runs a make clean anyway. So I guess this
is misleading too, since having to run make-kpkg clean separately is
hardly an automation.
