,----[  Manual page make-kpkg(1) line 145 ]
| --overlay-dir /path/to/directory
|        The specified directory should contain files that will be placed
|        in the ./debian directory of the kernel sources, in preparation
|        to building the debian packages. The files will replace any‐
|        thing in /usr/share/kernel-package that would normally be placed
|        there, and it is up to the user to make sure that the files in
|        the overlay directory are compatible with make-kpkg.  If you
|        break make-kpkg with an overlay file, you get to keep the
|        pieces. The same effect can be achieved by setting the
|        environment variable KPKG_OVERLAY_DIR.
| 
|        Please note that overlay-dir/Control and overlay-dir/changelog
|        are special, and variable sub‐ stitution is performed on these
|        files.  Use /usr/share/kernel-package/Control and
|        /usr/share/kernel-package/changelog files as templates.
| 
|        If a overlay-dir/post-install executable (or executable script)
|        exists, it shall be run immedi‐ ately after ./debian is
|        populated. The script shall be executed in the ./debian
|        directory. This can be used, For instance, to delete files the
|        user does not want, or to take actions other than simple
|        replacement.
