I did do the full re-compile, re-install kernel and reboot.  However, 
the contents of /usr/src/linux/.config were simply the same as the 
.config from the Debian distribution kernel.

I notice if I do grep EXTRAVERS *  I see the following:
conf.vars:EXTRAVERSION     =
Makefile:EXTRAVERSION =
Makefile:KERNELVERSION = $(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION)

Therefore, I guess that to correctly mimick the creation of the Debian 
kernel, I need to do more than just copy .config?
