Actually, the "install behavior" is quite nice. I wrote a script that
installs the kernel and sets it up in the right way for my
non-kbuild-2.5 kernel... much of this script is doing stuff like getting
the current kernel version, etc... the new kbuild allows you to specify
the install script you want to use and exports a bunch of variables that
make this script easier to write. Moreover, I believe there is a
default install that mimicks that of the current kernel so that the
changing of install's behavior is not mandatory.
