I guess our mistake was compiling the 'usual' Linux way make rm581_defconfig, make. But then again, it was my believe this is what dpkg-buildpackage actually does.
What I, and others, want, besides openmode patch, is.

That does also work, you just need to ensure that the final version string matches. debian/rules appends the package version to the kernel string (as a CONFIG_LOCALVERSION iirc).

Hah! Ah well, seemingly, I still can't live without a working spellchecker

You can figure out a lot just by looking at debian/rules file.
If not, I suggest staying with dpkg-buildpackage, it does the job niceliy

okay...

Needs some deeper tutorials, but an example from debian/rules goes like this (for the kernel zImage build)
kernel-stamp: configure-stamp
cd $(KSRC) && $(MAKE) ARCH=$(ARCH) $(NJOBS) $(EXTRAVERSION) zImage

cd ./kernel && make ARCH=arm -j6 zImage

Since $(KSRC) contains the build path and
$(MAKE) the path to 'make'
$(ARCH) is the architecture we are crosscompiling to
$(NJOBS) is number of concurrent threads (I believe default is 6)
$(EXTRAVERSION) is not defined, thus empty

So, you could compile using something like
cd kernel
make rm581_defconfig
make ARCH=arm -j6 zImage
