[Voyage-linux] Re: Compiling kernel and missing control info

[Merul Patel]

Thank you to those who've emailed me directly.

I notice that simply editing the Makefile to specify EXTRAVERSION = -voyage,
and then running:

make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel-image

generates the .deb packages fine. There is clearly a way to generate the
debian/control file from the debian/Control file, and any pointers would be
appreciated. I did try editing the debian/control file manually, but am
unsure of the conventions.
