1) Mention fakeroot in the context of make KDEB_PKGVERSION=custom.1.0 deb-pkg:

In section 4.5 (Building a custom kernel from Debian kernel source), you
differentiate between issuing commands as root, 

    # apt-get install linux-source-2.6.18
and as a regular user,

    $ tar xjf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2. You also use fakeroot a lot in other parts of the handbook.  Therefore,
I suggest 

    $ fakeroot make KDEB_PKGVERSION=custom.1.0 deb-pkg

. Currently, fakeroot is not mentioned in that line.

2) Get users more acquainted with ccache:

  I suggest mentioning ccache by prefixing 

    MAKEFLAGS="CC=ccache\ gcc"

whenever make is involved, while emphasizing it to be optional.
