Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: deb-pkg: Allow setting package name at build
Date: Tue,  5 May 2026 10:29:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505152957.695641-1-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)

Users can change the source package by setting variable `KDEB_SOURCENAME`,
but the binary package name is hardcoded.

Add support for setting binary package name by using `KDEB_PACKAGENAME`
and let it affect both kernel image and debug image packages.

Update kbuild documentation to include defaults and mention both
`KDEB_PACKAGENAME` and `KDEB_SOURCENAME`.
