--revision=M1 (M2, M3, etc., as I go along) knowing that those will always supersede any digits that the normal distro uses. If you use the epoch, like: --revision=2:1 (epoch 2, revision 1) would you automatically get revision 2 when it appears on the Debian site and you do the upgrade? (None of this seems to be documented in man make-kpkg). Or do I have it *totally* wrong?
