Package: kernel-package

Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
Very simple patch to add a --verbose option so that it will call the make
with the V=1 option to see the full commands.
I found it much more useful than --noexec because I cound not just simulate a
full compilation, some steps rely on the results of previous steps and it
ends prematurely on errors.
This is just the patch for make-kpkg, feel free to change the textual
description of the option. man mages will have to be updated too if this
patch is accepted.
