I just read the following page: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/238469/difference-between-make-kpkg-and-make-deb-pkg "make-kpkg is included in wheezy and jessie but stretch (current stable) only contains it for powerpc.

Hmm, OK. I checked debian:buster in Docker, and I see it. root@3382de16960a:/home/foo# apt-file search make-kpkg kernel-package: /usr/bin/make-kpkg kernel-package: /usr/share/man/man1/make-kpkg.1.gz zsh-common: /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Debian/_make-kpkg If make-kpkg will still be included in the future Debian releases, I'd like to change make-kpkg to make it work more reliably. The git URL in the control file "https://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/srivasta/debian/kernel-package.git" seems stale. Anyway, I found it in a new place: $ git clone https://salsa.debian.org/srivasta/kernel-package Hmm, the last commit was three years ago. So, it is almost unmaintained, I guess... > There is another bug report about kernel-package with current kernel > versions <https://bugs.debian.org/890817> but I don't know whether it > has been worked around already. Probably, not fixed. It is not stalled actually. I guess make-kpkg is hiding messages sent to stdout for some reasons. If you continue pressing "Enter" key, it will move on to the build stage. I will take a look if it should be maintained. Anyway, I want to hear from Manoj. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
