make-kpkg's --config option limits the choice of config methods offered by
the kernel. I think it should offer the same options as the kernel does. Most 
notably the 'silentoldconfig' method (which would even be nice to have as
default method as it doesn't fill the entire scrollback buffer, which plain
oldconfig does).

The patch below at least enables the use of 'silentoldconfig'
