    # kbuild: Add new package format: deb-pkg
    #
    # To prepare kbuild for more kernel packaging formats move all packaging
    # support to scripts/package.
    # In top-level Makefile introduce generic support for all package
    # formats using target names *-pkg. Included the old rpm target for backward
    # compatibility.
    #
    # A new variable KBUILD_IMAGE is used to specify what kernel image
    # will be part of the final package, and is to be set by the arch specific
    # makefile. KBUILD_IMAGE may be overridden from command line or environment.
    # KBUILD_IMAGE will see wider usage later, mainly when installing
    # kernel images.
    # Introducing KBUILD_IMAGE allowed arch specific details to be deleted from the mkspec
    # and builddeb scripts.
    #
    # While in the process added the deb packet format. Script is
    # From: Wichert Akkerman <wichert@wiggy.net>
    #
    # To create a RPM packet use 'make rpm-pkg'.
    # To create a deb packet use 'make deb-pkg'.
    # Both targets are included in 'make help'
