What means 4 & 5 in details ?

After creating a few kernel deb binaries by running make-kpkg, I found that by using the deb-pkg target in newer kernel Makefiles was easier.

Still looking for a way to make a linux-headers deb out of the kernel source without using make-kpkg.

Any suggestions to the xen users using a debian based Linux disto?
