I'm afraid that kernel-package is for practical purposes unmaintained these
days, with bugs left unfixed for ages (like, #772664: fork bombs unless you
manually override with -j`grep ^processor /proc/cpuinfo|wc -l`, or #772681:
produces bogus -headers that break some out-of-tree modules).

If you're building recentish kernels (since 4.1 I think), mainline can
produce Debian packages on its own: "make bindeb-pkg".
