It's a new thing in upstream kernels. deb-pkg came first but it produces tons of useless cruft, bindeb-pkg is there since 4.3. > With "make bindeb-pkg", is there a way to build additional modules like > it is with make-kpkg?

How come you use nvidia modules with make-kpkg? https://bugs.debian.org/772681 makes -headers incapable of building nvidia unless you manually rm -rf include/asm after every kernel upgrade. There are other severe bugs: fork bombing when attempting parallel compilation unless you remember to unset build flags; glancing at the bug list I see it fails to compile 4.9 kernels (ie, those that stretch will have) -- I haven't tested that but this kind of failures has been handled on kbuild side during mid-rc, kernel-package would need an update. Manoj is a skilled maintainer but apparently he's been seriously neglecting this package.
