Note also that kernel version numbers interacts with Debian's package
management. By calling your own compiled kernel version 2:kayon.1 it
will be a more recent version number than the standard Debian
kernel-image package. That is, kernel-image-2.2.14_2:kayon.1_i386
is regarded as being more recent than
kernel-image-2.2.14_2.2.14-1_i386. Thus, the packaging system will
not try to install a more recent 2.2.14 over your own kernel image.
Debian kernel packages always have the version number the same as the
kernel version number.
