Custom kernel confuses Update Manager's versioning

[Erik Bågfors]

Just set revision up high and you should be set. I can't remember
exactly how as I never had to recompile a kernel since going to ubuntu
(weeeee).

But something like

make-kpkg --revision 20050608
if what I used to use under debian
