Thanks, nice procedure, quite straightforward (what

to automate all this, alas the menuconfig phase always require human

you need, programmatically?
I don't know how to do it the Ubuntu style. They build something that
installs an "abi" file,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/BuildSystem/ABI . I didn't read this.
Btw. I don't have in mind what you need to install, to get the tools to
build a kernel. I always install build-essential and things like sthis
for my installs.
Maybe
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
is helpful, I didn't read it myself.
Don't worry, building the Debian style is done by many experienced
Ubuntu users.
I forgot to mention something very important:
https://www.kernel.org/category/signatures.html
You not necessarily need to do this to build a kernel, but you most
likely want to do this verifying.
