That works fine with debuild as well, which is no wonder considering that first thing debuild does it to call dpkg-buildpackage. > i do use dpkg-buildpackage in a clean sid chroot specially created for this > purpose, but don't use any kind of debuild/pbuilder/whatever frontends, so > maybe there is some problem with the frontend you are using ? Since I always use debuild, and package not building with debuild would probably be a bug in the package. But with your help, I have found the issue. It is quite interesting that linux-2.6 uses kernel-package in a way which turns off kernel-package error handling. Maybe linux-2.6 should check whether a ~/.kernel-pkg.conf exists with incompatible settings, as this might be a challenge for other people as well. > > I must be missing something here, please enlighten me. > > What is your problem again, now that we sorted the menuconfig out ? None, at the moment. I just got the impression that the kernel packages need some special handling as you suggested an error in my build process.
