I've been meaning to do this one for a while and I now have it working so
that with my current -ac kernel working tree I can type
make rpm
and out puts kernel-2.4.7ac3-1.i386.rpm
All this took was the pieces below.
Anyone care to knock up a "make dpkg" to go with it ?

Well for one because its easier to hack on at the moment. I still need to
finish up packing the right pieces, and also checking if the user
has an /sbin/installkernel and also if they are not using GRUB need to then
rerun lilo

Great idea!
Just the bunch of "echo this or that" is ugly as sin... why not a
kernel.spec template that gets its version &c substituted by sed(1) or
something?

Debian has had a package that does this for years now. It's
called `kernel-package' and works through a program called
`make-kpkg' that does all sorts of nice things. Using
kernel-package, you could implement `make dpkg' as a single
command: `make-kpkg kernel_image'.
Here's some more about kernel-package in the program's own words:
blp:~(0)$ make-kpkg --targets
Known Targets are:
===============================================================================
| Targets | Automatically builds |
===============================================================================
| clean | |
| buildpackage | Builds the whole package |
| binary | Builds kernel_{source,headers,image,doc} |
| binary-indep | |
| kernel_source | |
| kernel_doc | |
| binary-arch | |
| kernel_headers | |
| kernel_image | Builds build |
| build | |
| modules | |
| modules_image | |
| modules_config | |
| modules_clean | |
| configure | If you wish to edit files |
| debian | generated by make config |
| debian | Creates ./debian dir, and |
| | optionally patches the source |
===============================================================================
See /usr/share/kernel-package/rules for details.
blp:~(0)$ make-kpkg --help
This program should be run in a linux kernel source top level directory.
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Problems.gz contains a list of known problems.

directs that package not to sign the
source. This is only relevant for the
buildpackage target.
--uc This option is passed to dpkg-buildpackage, and
directs that package not to sign the
changelog. This is only relevant for the
buildpackage target.
Use one of --zimage or --bzimage, or none, but not both.
Option Format: The options may be shortened to the smallest unique
string, and may be entered with either a - or a -- prefix, and you may
use a space between an option string and a value. Please refer to man
Getopt::Long for details on how the options may be entered.

I suggest '$(FAKEROOT) make-kpkg kernel_image'

Maybe Herbert Xu, the actual developper of the Debian kernel package or
Manoj Srivastava, for the Debian Linux kernel package build scripts can
do that.
debian-devel, Herbert and Manoj are Cc-ed.
For those cc-ed who don't read linux-kernel, the entire thread can be read on

We've had that option for years, just call "make-kpkg kernel_image".
It would be trivial to add a rule to the Makefile in the kernel tree
that calls that if you do "make deb".

Well, kernel-package certainly could do with more publicity. There are
still many Debian users who don't know about it.

No, the package revision is completely seperate from the kernel
release version.

Perhaps one should use:
make-kpkg --revision=$(shell cat .version) kernel_image
Like the "Build" number used by a certain software from Redmond, WA.

Probably clearer to make it a "here" document (untested). EXTRASHORT could
have been left inline (inside ``), but it is a bit clearer this way, I think.
