Thanks for the feedback. You make a good point.
I took this approach for the following problem as well (which I did
not mention in my initial submission, silly me):
- Build and package the same kernel commit, but with different kernel
configurations
If I were building and packaging different kernel commits on the same
tree, I could live without my patch. The bulleted edge case, and my
original commit message's case, do something interesting for target
installations. With some KDEB_PKGVERSION finesse, I could make multiple
versions of 'linux-configA-image' and 'linux-configB-image' available
to the target. At least for my usage, this patch can be useful.
Granted, LOCALVERSION hacking could accomplish the same thing. Maybe
it's the pedant in me, but "4.11.0-rc2$LOCALVERSION" seems ideal for
describing a named package, be it 'linux-image', 'linux-configA-image',
or '$KDEB_SOURCENAME-image'.

I noted the prevailing style initially, but I took the (overly)
cautious route for submission. Thanks for the note-- no more curly
braces when expanding shell variables.
