Why do you create .deb packages to test development kernels? It _is_ slow.

Instead I'd just add a new grub menu entry to /boot/grub/grub.cfg and
point it to /boot/MyzImage. After a 'make install; make
modules_install' just link /boot/MyzImage to the installed kernel in
/boot. And then generate a new initramfs using 'update-initramfs -c -k
