last night i downloaded it. i was having problems with apt-get returning
errors that kernel-source-2.2.14 wasn't there, but they seemed to get fixed
as time went on. i think there might be some backend manipulation going on
that momentarily makes it unavailable.

Hi,
make-kpkg clean does all that clean does, and more. There is
no need to run make dep; make-kpkg handles all that. You can use
make-kpkg to vreate pcmcia packages in sync with your kernel. Look
into /usr/doc/pcmcia*/ and /usr/doc/kernel-pacakge/README for
details.

No, follow the kernel-package instructions (though I think that your
doing a make dep won't actually hurt anything, you'll just be doing
something manually that make-kpkg clean will do anyway).
