I think this policy is not intended for kernel-image source package
to build kernel-image, but just add-on patch packages such as ide,
kdb, reiserfs, usb, pc9800 and ipvs etc. i.e. patches which haven't
been merged in the kernel source itself yet. For example, I've created
kernel-image-pc9800 source package locally, which build-depends on
kernel-patch-pc9800.
In kernel-image-pc9800's rules, the following command is used to make
the image:
PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES make-kpkg --flavour pc9800 --added_patches=pc9800
Further more, kernel-image-i386 source package uses the kernel-patch-ide
patch package to build the kernel-image-ide image package.
