Yeah, I think so.  Your reasoning on the first one is sound - but is it
possible for $(objtree) to != $(srctree) even when they're coincident.  I like
Linus's use of the filechk macro on the second - but we shouldn't overwrite
keys someone has manually placed in the tree if the key generation template
changes due to git pull altering kernel/Makefile.

Sometimes I think makescript is like trying to program in Prolog - but worse.
