Improve the source package support in case the dpkg-buildpackage is
directly used to build binary packages.
For cross-compiling, you can set CROSS_COMPILE via the environment
variable, but it is better to set it automatically - set it to
${DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE}- if we are cross-compiling but not from the top
Makefile.
The generated source package may be carried to a different build
environment, which may have a different compiler installed.
Run olddefconfig first to set new CONFIG options to their default
values without prompting.
Take KERNELRELEASE and KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION from the version field of
debian/changelog in case it is updated afterwards.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
