Then just do make deb-pkg You could read more about the make system used by the kernel https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ or in the directory $ less README so according Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt KBUILD_DEBARCH -------------------------------------------------- For the deb-pkg target, allows overriding the normal heuristics deployed by deb-pkg. Normally deb-pkg attempts to guess the right architecture based on the UTS_MACHINE variable, and on some architectures also the kernel config. The value of KBUILD_DEBARCH is assumed (not checked) to be a valid Debian architecture.
