Without these patches, to build an upgraded kernel on a Debian machine,
one has to use commands I keep on forgetting:

	make oldconfig
	make
	fakeroot -u make deb-pkg

With these patches applied, as long as fakeroot is installed, a single
command will do:

	make oldconfig deb-pkg

If fakeroot is not installed, there should be no change in behavior.
I have been using this to build the last few kernels, finding it very
convenient.

I look forward to your thoughts, even if they are just "I have no time
to look at this now".  I would like to get an idea of whether people
think these patches are a good idea, so I can fix them if they're
broken and chase them out of my local tree.

  scripts/package: add ROOTCMD variable
  scripts/package: use fakeroot if available
