I'm sorry, I am not happy at this resolution, which is merely symptomatic relief (shuts down a warning when there is a clash between packages). Bit it still allows an official kernel to override a user specified kernel of the same name; and worse, since it does it by silently over writing modules, rather than moving them out of the way, using the clobber modules version, the user may end up with a hodge podge of modules from the local build, and some of the official kernel that is being laid over, which is not a situation we want the user to end up in. (I understand why i uses silent modules rather than clobber modules). If we must have official kernel header packages adding in symbolic links that are not created by kernel-package, but need to have kernel-package deal with the resulting situation, a better solution must be crafted. First, do not give an official kernel carte blanch to ride rough shod over any existing modules dir; but only do so if the only thing currently in that directory is a build symbolic link, and nothing else. In this case it would be OK to let the build symlink stand -- assuming that the kernel image itself does not come with its own build symlink. manoj -- You will feel hungry again in another hour.
