I thought make-kpkg was deprecated years ago?

Last time I built a kernel I did via a git clone from the linux git 
repository.  When I installed it, some magic somewhere automatically
ran mkinitramfs and I had a working functional initramfs.  It also
updated grub.

Note that I didn't use *any* special Debian build method, literally
just an upstream git clone and make, and despite this the initramfs
and bootloader bits were done correctly.
