If you actually *read* Manoj's posting, you'll realize that the entire posting was about using make-kpkg is while compiling your own kernels. make-kpkg is a way for you to integrate those self-compiled kernels into the Debian packaging system. I've used make-kpkg for nearly two years, and I don't use pre-compiled Debian kernels. I never have. If, for whatever reason, you don't want that, fine, but don't bitch about it when packages which are kernel-version dependent follow Debian's standard. We (more properly, Manoj) have provided a way to achieve this---if you don't bother to actually investigate, even when you're told about it, then you reap what you sow.
