I for one am ecstatic that you're loving Linux Debian-style. What I wanna know is how this is 10X easier than doing "make rpm" in your kernel source tree? Or rebuilding the .src.rpm for your kernel, or dagnammit, just installing the distribution's pre-built RPM of the kernel? Debian's great and all, but let's not belittle the achievements of other linux vendors (and more importantly spread misinformation). 'make rpm' was around before 'make-kpkg'.
