That should not be necessary. Generally, one cannot assume that there is
just "one kernel" and it is dangerous to assume /usr/src/linux matches the 
running kernel.

See comment below.

Basically, extract the kernel under a directory. Optionally patch it.

make menuconfig

Now you have a tree with your desired .config file.

You run 'make-kpkg buildpackage --rootcmd fakeroot'

One of the resulting packages is a kernel-image package . Another one is
a kernel-headers package. Install the kernel-image on the target machine
(obviously) and kernel-headers on the build machine.

The kernel-headers package could be used instead of the complete kernel
source . Thus the convension can be to look for the "kernel source"
in /usr/src/kernel-headers-`uname -r` .

Again, it doesn't have to be /usr/src . The point is not to build as
root (fakeroot is used to overcome some small packaging problems)

That should not be required. Normally that is done automatically by the
postinst script of the kernel (if neeeded).

Could you please give the exact error message? And all the messages
related to chan_capi?
