With the new versions of kernel-package in Squeeze, running

explicit clean is redundant.

That would imply that things like --append-to-version and --revision
must be specified on every invocation, correct? One cannot, for example,
specify --append-to-version and --revision with the kernel_image
target and then leave them off with a subsequent invocation for the
modules_image target.

Yes, that is one unfortunate consequence of the change. However,
I just hit up arrow, since I usually build my kernel and modules
pretty much at the same time, so it is usually not that onerous (I also
use a shell script that uses the same VERSION AND REVISION VALUES,
WHICH MAKES IT EVEN LESS OF AN HEADACHE)
