Well, then one of us is wrong. Before you assume it's me, I suggest you
test it.
[gimli:~] 11:03:05am 56 % ls -l /vmlinuz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Nov 6 21:46 /vmlinuz ->
boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test10
[gimli:~] 11:03:55am 57 % ls -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test10
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 947441 Nov 6 21:45
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test10
[gimli:~] 11:04:10am 58 % ls -l /boot/System.map-2.4.0-test10
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 460140 Nov 6 21:45
/boot/System.map-2.4.0-test10
Looks like the kernel I built last night with make-kpkg did make a system
map just like it was supposed to, and 'dpkg -i' installed it just like it
should have.
Heck:
[gimli:~] 11:05:38am 63 % dpkg -L kernel-image-2.4.0-test10 | grep System
/boot/System.map-2.4.0-test10
Now, I would sure say that it does.
It does the same thing as 'make modules_install' as well:
[gimli:~] 11:05:51am 64 % dpkg -L kernel-image-2.4.0-test10 | grep modules
/lib/modules
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel/drivers
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel/drivers/input
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel/drivers/input/evdev.o
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel/drivers/input/joydev.o
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel/drivers/input/keybdev.o
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel/drivers/input/mousedev.o
(etc)
Whoever told you that it didn't was either completely wrong or you're
mis-interpreting what they said.

chmod it then if it gives you a thrill. It's not like you can
actually run either one from a command line. It's not like it really
matters either.
