[Kernel-handbook-general] A little typo and some suggestions

Hello kernel-handbook maintainers!

I think I noticed a typo in section 4.2 (_Rebuilding an official Debian
kernel package_)

"This will download an unpack the linux-major source package"
s/an/and/

Additionally I would like to point out that command lines are quoted in
an inconsistent way: section 4.1 (_Obtaining the Debian kernel source_)
uses bulleted lists, while section 4.2 (_Rebuilding an official Debian
kernel package_) uses definition lists as command/explanation.
IMHO a convention should be defined once and for all (and then
consistently followed).

Moreover I would appreciate if it were clearer which commands must be
run as root and which may be issued by a normal user: for instance you
could adopt the (common) convention of putting a "# " as the root prompt
and "$ " as the normal user prompt...


Thanks for writing such a useful document!  :)

P.S.: Please Cc: me on replies, as I'm not subscribed to this list.
      Thanks.
