I must confess I did not look at the change log. But the README file (/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz) still documents it as necessary. As to whether this is out of date or not, I do not know. But there is one thing I *do* know: the --revision flag he was using was not taking effect, as evidenced by the name of the package file produced. And I also know that when I use "make-kpkg clean" before building the kernel package, I never have any trouble. Note also that the comment above talks about changing the version number, not the revision number. They aren't the same. -- .''`.
