 I guess you're referring to the system found in the upstream kernel €€€ a 
 bit 
 out of topic in this ML, isn't it? :P 
  
 Anyway, here is how I would do it. 
 First you need to patch scripts/package/debian/rules with the following: 
  
 diff --git a/scripts/package/debian/rules b/scripts/package/debian/rules 
 index a417a7f8bbc1..a9826a62c4f2 100755 
 --- a/scripts/package/debian/rules 
 +++ b/scripts/package/debian/rules 
 @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ define binary 
         $(Q)dh_fixperms $(DH_OPTIONS) 
         $(Q)dh_gencontrol $(DH_OPTIONS) -- -f$(call mk-files,$@) 
         $(Q)dh_md5sums $(DH_OPTIONS) 
 -       $(Q)dh_builddeb $(DH_OPTIONS) -- $(addprefix -Z,$(KDEB_COMPRESS)) 
 +       $(Q)dh_builddeb $(DH_OPTIONS) --destdir=$(ARTIFACTS_DIR) -- 
 $(addprefix -Z,$(KDEB_COMPRESS)) 
  endef 
  
  .PHONY: $(binary-targets) 
  
 Then, you can build the package with the following command: 
  
 export ARTIFACTS_DIR=$(mktemp -d) 
 make DPKG_FLAGS="--buildinfo-file=${ARTIFACTS_DIR}/vanilla-image.buildinfo 
 --buildinfo-option=-u${ARTIFACTS_DIR} --changes-option=-u${ARTIFACTS_DIR}" - 
 j 
 $(nproc --all) bindeb-pkg 
  
 Please note the DPKG_FLAGS. 
  
 Hope it helps 
  
 Best regards 
 Alessandro
