Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: allow alternative hook script dir in .deb packages

From: Frans Pop <elendil@...net.nl>
    
Hook scripts in the default directory /etc/kernel are also
executed by packages created using make-kpkg (including official
Debian kernels). Allow to specify an alternative hook scripts
directory by exporting the environment variable KERNELDEBHOOKDIR
so that this can be avoided.
