I apologize if this is a stupid question, but it's not immediately apparent to
me...

Previously, I was overriding the deb file output name by the setting of
LOCALVERSION_AUTO; but with this series applied, that seems to be ignored?

Now if I pass LOCALVERSION="" I end up with e.g. linux-image-6.3.0-rc2_6.3.0-rc2-00575-g46c71cad996d-100_arm64.deb
whereas previously, I would end up with linux-image-6.3.0-rc2_6.3.0-rc2-100_arm64.deb

How would I restore the old naming behaviour?
