Did you drop in a hook script to create the initrd in
/etc/kernel? As the NEWS.Debian said, kernel-package no longer does the
creation by default.
I used -initrd on the make-kpkg command line.

I am changing the make-kpkg man page to clarify this.
attempted to remove the package had errors which required using
dpkg -P with force options.
Do you have a log of those errors? Given the information here,
it is hard to tell what the problem was.
Fortunately klipper still had the error text I had copied, although this
may be from after my first attempt at removal:
dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `linux-2.6.27'
