Ubuntu 10.10 Kernel compile error

[Anca Emanuel]

Steps to reproduce on Ubuntu 10.10

1. sudo apt-get install git-core kernel-package fakeroot
build-essential ncurses-dev
2. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
3. cd linux-2.6
4. cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
5. yes '' | make oldconfig
6. make nconfig
and select to not make the staging drivers
7. make-kpkg clean
8. CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` fakeroot make-kpkg
--initrd --append-to-version=-c kernel_image kernel_headers

result:

dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-image-2.6.36-rc1-c+ not in control info
make[2]: *** [debian/stamp/binary/linux-image-2.6.36-rc1-c+] Error 255

yes you have some patches, why don't you upstream them ?
Gregh, what is so hard to publish some compiler paches ? only becouse

It is rc2 time an you did not publish, or asked Linus to pull the
