Do you build the kernel using make-kpkg? To be honest, for Hardy I never 
used "--append-to-version=-1", but I did this for Karmic and there it 
worked for 2.6.31.12-rt21-1. However that be, modifying 
debian/ruleset/misc/version_vars.mk

-UTS_RELEASE_VERSION=$(shell if [ -f include/linux/version.h ]; then \
- grep 'define UTS_RELEASE' include/linux/version.h | \
+UTS_RELEASE_VERSION=$(shell if [ -f include/linux/utsrelease.h ]; then \
+ grep 'define UTS_RELEASE' include/linux/utsrelease.h | \

might solve the problem?!
