[PLUG] Debian kernel build - where's my .deb?

I was following the instructions at
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html. Because of the
problems with the Debian 2.4.20 kernel and gcc 3.3, it took days and days.
Try a build, see which package failed, figure out if I care, if not,
remove it, if so, fix it (usually a bad data type or string constrant
wrapping). So, finally, eureka! I see echo done > stamp-build.
So, I follow instruction 6 in the link above, cd to /usr/src, and type ls.
I see I have the bz2 image, but no .deb file. What gives? What didn't
finish, why didn't it tell me about a problem, and how do I get it to
finish making the package?
Thanks,
- Steve Jorgensen
P.S.
Actually, I combined the instructions from there with instructions from
somewhere else I don't recall, and added --initrd to the make-kpkg command
line since that seems to be the appropriate thing to do.
