If KCONFIG_CONFIG is passed to `make deb-pkg` as a makeflag or environment variable, the source tarball produced contains whatever specified by that variable instead of the usual `.config'. While `make deb-pkg' yields a correct Debian binary package (at least on amd64), the generated source package's debian/rules does not pass KCONFIG_CONFIG to make(1), thus rendering the source package unable to be rebuilt. Steps to reproduce the kind of failure being fixed: 1) Produce a source and binary package with: % KCONFIG_CONFIG=my.config make deb-pkg 2) In the parent directory: % dpkg-source -x linux-*.dsc 3) In the unpacked source directory: % debuild -i -us -uc Here is an excerpt from an example output of `debuild -i -us -uc': make[2]: *** No rule to make target '.config', needed by 'kernel/config_data.gz'.
