[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.
