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ABI" instructions, but they seem to be out of date.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
