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.
