How to config twice with make-kpkg



When building kernels the Debian way, with make-kpkg and
kernel-source-xxx, as well as various Debianized kernel-patches, I
find I want to run oldconfig and then xconfig.  I run oldconfig so I
can specifically see and tweak the new options since the last kernel
version; then I run xconfig to change other options.

The problem is that if I run make-kpkg configure twice, the second
time it just says things are up to date and does nothing.

I've gotten around this by running make-kpkg clean in between.  I was
originally concerned this would wipe out my configuration settings,
but that does not seem to be the case.  However, this makes for a very
slow process, as I must clean and then regenerate a lot of stuff.

Is there a better way?

Further info: Because I'm applying kernel patches, I want to do the
configuration after the patching.  It may also be relevant that I'm
using make-kpkg's --revision and --append-to-version options.
