   * Modified the make-kpkg man page to reflect the fact that --rootcmd
flag needs an argument. The examples and the run time help were
correct, which may explain why no one pointed this error out
before. closes: Bug#82939, Bug#82943
* We now check and dissallow all hyphens in revision string. The
software and the documentation was inconsistent as to the format of
the revision flag: the man page and the command line help insisted
that hyphens were not allowed; the README and the software itself
would allow hyphens, but no checks were then in place to ensure the
resulting version was legal. This caused problems at the tail end of a
fairly expensive kernel compile. I think I am going to standardize on
not allowing hyphens, cause then the checks already in place are
sufficient, and I think it is reasonable not to have debian revisions
for kernel-image-X.X.XX packages (in a way, these packages are really
Debian only). So, now you may no longer sneak in a hyphen and thus
debian revisions into the ekrnel-image versions (and thus it shall
remain unless there is a public outcry). closes: Bug#82034
* Added more verbose messages when we f;ag a revison as violating the
all lowercase requirements of Debian policy; you see, the FLavour and
extrav_version variables become part of the kernel-image package name
(the name is kernel-image-VERSION-FLAVOUR, where VERSION also contains
the EXTRA_VERSION var). Added checks to make-kpkg as well, and added
more docs in the check. closes: Bug#83169
