=== chroot into the build environment ===
Depending on what may be installed on your system you may use "dchroot" or "schroot" to chroot into the build environment. 

For example:
{{{
schroot -c lucid-i386
}}}

You should chroot into a 64bit build environment to build 64bit kernel package, 32bit build environemt to build 32bit kernel package. 

=== Setup the build tree ===
This step generates the debian control files required to build the kernel. The ''clean'' target is a bit of a misnomer here since we moved the generated files (control.stub, control) out of version control. The ''clean'' target actually creates these files. It is a known drawback, and unavoidable.

{{{
fakeroot debian/rules clean
}}}

=== Modify debian/changelog ===
Modify the debian/changelog file to reflect something unique about this build, for example, you may use a launchpad bug number that you might be building this kernel for.

Modify the the first line, for example:
{{{
linux (2.6.27-12.28)  UNRELEASED; urgency=low
}}}

to

{{{
linux (2.6.27-12.28~lpNNNNNNUSERNAME1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
}}}


=== Build the kernel package ===
 * Arch specific builds:
{{{
fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic
}}}

 * All arches:
{{{
fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch
}}}
