This won't do anything because debug-info is now enabled in the top
level configuration (debian/config/defines). Although it is possible
to override it in the per-architecture configuration file, it is
simpler to edit the value in top level file.

It's now an arch-independent package, so this should do it:
make -f debian/rules.gen binary-indep_none
Please can you open a bug report against debian-kernel-handbook, so I
remember to update it?
