It just works.
Yes, make-kpkg is a real winner. Combine it with debarchiver running
on a server somewhere to automatically build your own APT repository
(as we do) and you can build a kernel package, upload it to your local
repository with dput, and then apt-get install it on all your
machines. Lovely.
