If people don't use the tools, then they don't get the benefits of the
tools, which is hardly our fault.  This is like saying that we
shouldn't have dependencies on libgtk, because some people might
compile their own, without using dpkg-source.  As long as it works
with make-kpkg, and doesn't require one of the *official* kernel
images, I'm all for it; there's no valid excuses for not using
make-kpkg that I've ever seen.
