Personally, I just use the environment variable approach each time I
compile:

Thief:/usr/src# PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES make-kpkg --revision=Thief.20
kernel_image

A good way to test if a kernel patch is working is to try applying it
manually. I don't remember the directory off the top of my head, but
it's something along the lines of /usr/src/patches/patch-name/patch.
Look around your src tree to find it. There was a problem a few weeks
ago with the LPP not applying to the new 2.4.20 packages that I
discovered by trying to apply it directly. With make-kpkg, you can never
be sure that the problem lies specifically in the patching process. Good
luck.
