One more comment for the sake of completion:

If you're intent on sharing the package or creating it the "right" way
(as opposed to my wrong way), it's best to name it like Ubuntu does,
with a revision that's the full kernel version,
"linux-image-3.7.0-4-generic_3.7.0-4.12_amd64.deb".

So, if you install it with apt-get, you install
"linux-image-3.7.0-4-generic", the kernel's called
"vmlinuz-3.7.0-4-generic", "uname -r" returns "3.7.0-4-generic", and
"apt-cache show linux-image-3.7.0-4-generic" returns "Version:
3.7.0-4.12".
