Hello.
I noticed that the deb-pkg target in scripts/package/Makefile invokes
make clean. Is this really necessary? I disabled it so I could rebuild
.deb packages faster after making small changes to the kernel source.

Yes, because (since Linux 4.3) "make deb-pkg" also generates a source
tarball, and you don't want spurious object files in that tarball.

There's the bindeb-pkg target for that already. :-)

I've submitted a even faster target specifically to improve turnaround times:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9532279/
I don't know if it's going to be accepted for 4.11 or not.
