[Kernel-handbook-general] [PATCH] Correct order of preparation for rebuilding official Debian kernel packages

[Ben Hutchings]

'apt-get source' requires dpkg-dev, which we cannot assume is
installed until *after* 'apt-get install build-essential'.  So
move the installation commands to the beginning of the list.
Also improve the explanation of the installation commands.

I've just committed this fix.

Ben.
