Another way of doing that is to use the --append-to-version option to
make-kpkg.

I build my kernels with this shell function:

bk () 
{ 
    if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
        echo "Usage: bk <tag> <revision>" 1>&2;
        return;
    fi;
    make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --revision $2 --append-to-version -$1-$2 kernel_image
}
