On Debian, 'make-kpkg' is the tool of choice. It compiles the kernel
and modules and builds a .deb package, which you then install with dpkg.
This makes it absolutely simple to build a kernel package for a different
machine -- I prefer to build kernels for most of my machines on one
PC, for speed reasons.
