do_clean isn't honored because the debian/rules file overrides it.
Second, the rules file actually references a stock version of itself in
/usr/lib (I think) that again overrides the setting.

If you edit the debian/rules file to use itself instead of the lib
version, the local do_clean setting will be honored.  I monkeyed with
this for quite a bit the first time through.

Can't jump kernel versions without editing a few files in debian/ (it'll
complain on build), don't recall precisely which, but it was only a few.
It's usually easier just to start from scratch, rerun make-kpkg, copy in
your .config and make oldconfig.

Remember the kernel version is part of the package name, so 2.6.1 is one
package, and 2.6.2 is a totally different package.  Both can be
installed simultaneously.  (same with your --append-to-version names).

It is, but not out of the box in Woody.
