When I ditched the debian/official support in the new make-kpkg,
I get times as fast as the usptream; since nothing is rebuilt. We can
smiply remove ./debian, and things are still fast, since only things
that upstream kbuild thinks need to be remade are remade, and calling
dpkg is not that slow.
I am experimenting with the idea that every time you call
make-kpkg, it recreates ./debian; which means if you have made any
changes, they are silently incorporated in ./debian/changelog.
I routinely use make-kpkg now from the git directory, and even
after a git pull, very little work is done to rebuild the .deb.
