That depends on who you talk to. The kernel team used to use it to build their stock kernel image packages until Lenny; but they don't use it anymore. So the kernel team considers it deprecated. But the upstream author and Debian package maintainer for kernel-package, Manoj Srivastava, is not on the kernel team. As far as I know, he still uses it himself to build custom kernels, and so do a lot of other people. I don't believe that Manoj considers kernel-package to be deprecated. Nevertheless, my kernel building web page, http://users.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm also documents the "make deb-pkg" method in the "Alternatives" section for those who wish to do it that way. -- .''`.
