To each his own. If you're happy with "make deb-pkg", then use it. I still prefer make-kpkg because of its greater flexibility. (I only get a headers package if I ask for one, for example. Most of the time I don't need one.) I also like the ease with which one can change the kernel version and the kernel revision. However, regardless of whether you use "make deb-pkg" or make-kpkg, you may find useful kernel-building information on the above web page. For example, the hook scripts (zy-symlinks) come in handy for users of boot loaders that use symbolic links, such as lilo, zipl, etc. The above page does discuss "make deb-pkg", although it is not the primary focus.
