Yes, make-kpkg works. I've got these debs installed on the 2 2.0 machines we

make-kpkg places the kernels in /boot. You call it by:
 make-kpkg kernel-image --arch xen

I need to fill in the descriptions(copied from the earlier debs). Also need
to build it in a chroot, and verify the build-depends, and installation
depends.
