Currently the non-kernel-package method of rebuilding Debian kernels
without producing a million extraneous debs is only documented in a
single place:

http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official

Hidden in this document is a description of how you can call
debian/rules build to extract the kernel sources, then make changes
and apply patches in a specific directory, and then build only certain
kernel images by calling certain parts of the config files.  If
make-kpkg is to be deprecated in the short term, this alternative way
to produce debs probably needs to be more carefully explained and put
in other documentation.

As it stands, make-kpkg seems to work for a lot of users and is
documented all over the web.  I'm not sure if there is a clear case
for its removal, since it doesn't have anything close to systematic
failure, from my experience at least.
