BuildYourOwnKernel wiki edit?

Hi folks-

Proposed wiki page edits...

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel recommends the
sequence:

        fakeroot debian/rules clean
        fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic

Now, I *always* also build 'binary-headers' since it is quick and often
necessary (right?).  Is there any reason why we shouldn't change that
wiki to recommend building 'binary-headers' also?:

        fakeroot debian/rules clean
        fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic

I also propose making the Testing section explicitly state that you
should always install all three resulting .debs together:

        dpkg -i  \
                linux-headers-2.6.38-6_2.6.38-6.34_all.deb  \
                linux-headers-2.6.38-6-generic_2.6.38-6.34_amd64.deb  \
                linux-image-2.6.38-6-generic_2.6.38-6.34_amd64.deb

Opinions?
