This was agreed with the maintainer, so you should not override it.

The discussion is here:

It sounds like you're looking at the linux source package.  I would
certainly not suggest using that for local custom packages; it's meant
for distributions.

The simple alternative is already included in the kernel tree itself:

    make bindeb-pkg

It does generate some extra packages (linux-headers and linux-libc-dev) 
but that doesn't take very long.  The generated packages don't support
/etc/kernel-img.conf but they do support hooks in /etc/kernel.

Bug #890817 also looks like it may be a big problem for current kernel
versions, but apparently you have avoided it.
