Package: kernel-package
Version: 8.119
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/make-kpkg

Hello,

in prestine kernel sources (using version 2.6.10), I can issue `make help' to
see an overview of the supported targets and options.

As make-pkg substitutes scripts/package/Makefile and the new one has no
target `help', calling make help results in:

  Static analysers
    buildcheck      - List dangling references to vmlinux discarded sections
                      and init sections from non-init sections
    checkstack      - Generate a list of stack hogs
    namespacecheck  - Name space analysis on compiled kernel

  Kernel packaging:
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target `help'.  Stop.
  make: *** [help] Error 2

To work around this issue, you can use

  (echo "# Dummy file "; echo "help:") >  scripts/package/Makefile

in /usr/share/kernel-package/rules instead of

  echo "# Dummy file " > scripts/package/Makefile

Regards
Uwe
