make-kpkg is a debian feature....

...and as such, it's basically make+some_debian_magic. but the Makefile
from loop-aes (or some other src) does not know about the "magic" part.
i assume it will only look into /usr/src/linux/Makefile and finds 2.4.27
as version number.

you're running 2.4.27-test, and the "-test" was added to the kernel, not
to /usr/src/linux/Makefile, right? not? correct me, if i'm wrong.

you could edit /usr/src/linux/Makefile, or let make-kpkg edit this file
perhaps?
