Is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelMaintenance still correct?

Hi all.
I started a Lucid TuxOnIce tree today.
Applying the patch was a no brainer - the vanilla 2.6.32 patch applies
without rejects - but I decided to try and do things the really-o
truly-o Ubuntu way. I've been following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelMaintenance
to the letter, as far as I'm able. I'm trying to follow the "Bumping the
ABI" instructions, but they seem to be out of date. After fakeroot
debian/rules clean, I have:
nigel at nigel-laptop:/usr/src/cg-ubuntu-lucid$ git add debian
nigel at nigel-laptop:/usr/src/cg-ubuntu-lucid$ git status
# On branch combined
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: debian/changelog
# new file: debian/control
# new file: debian/control.stub
# new file: debian/copyright
# new file: debian/rules.d/control.stub.in
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# debian.master/control
# debian.master/control.stub
# debian.master/d-i/kernel-versions
Should it be saying the following?
touch debian.master/rules.d/control.stub.in
fakeroot debian/rules clean
git add debian.master
git commit -s -F debian/commit-templates/bumpabi
By the way, is there any way to see exactly what the ABI differences
are? I know TuxOnIce exports extra symbols, but I don't think any of the
existing ones should have changed.
Thanks in advance!
Nigel
