generating linux-image-${VERSION}-amd64 locally

Hello Debian Kernel Team,

Recently I needed to build packages for the latest mainline kernel to post some logs to kernel.org bugzilla (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221319). I followed the kernel handbook (chapter 4 mainly) and it generally went pretty smoothly and I posted a mini-howTo on Debian Forums: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=166381

The only bit that I'm missing is generating `linux-image-${VERSION}-amd64`, so to work-around this, after installing the built packages, I manually call `linux-run-hooks image postinst`. From what I understand, `linux-signed` / `linux-image-${VERSION}-amd64` is generated by Debusine based on `linux-image-amd64-signed-template`, so I was wondering if:

a) ...I can fake this process somewhat and generate `linux-image-${VERSION}-amd64` locally using some scripts and ideally also sign the kernel for example with my dkms MOK, or...

b) ...if the above is over-complicated or not feasible, is it sufficient (for the purpose of setting-up / cleaning-up of kernel images) to create a dummy package that depends on `linux-binary` (and others) with maintainer-scripts generated from `debian/templates/image.p*` templates? If so, is there an easy to use script or a `make` rule to generate these maintainer-scripts from these templates?

Many thanks

  Morgwai
