However, there _is_ a way to avoid this. You can create different Flavours of the same kernel which may be named 2.2.17-1, 2.2.17-2, and so on. Read about this in /usr/share/doc/kernal-package/Flavours.gz However you need some handwork to patch the toplevel Makefile, but after that you can generate different kernel-"flavours" with "make-kpkg --falvour=... ..." or even "make FLAVOUR=... ...".
