Well then. Always eager to understand more of the "Debian Way", I'll ask
this:
Why should I make kernel packages instead of just compiling and using
kernels straight from tarballs? Seeing that the kernel is largely unrelated
to everything else (dependencies and what-not - don't pick on me too much
for this generalisation), what is the point in packaging one that you're
goign to be building anyway?
Please, enlighten this proto-weenie. :)
