Much appreciated, Ben!

As I began to learn how to build a kernel 'the debian way', I had been
using as reference:

https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official-vcs

Accordingly, up to this debian'ized kernel, the directive

fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch

worked well to generate both DEBs *and* UDEBs successfully.

Now, following your advice, Ben, I have replaced the above directive with

dpkg-buildpackage -d -b -us -uc -T binary-arch

(option -d is to override apparent flex dependency show-stopper --
but: "flex is already the newest version", according to apt).

*also* with or without including switches, -us -uc, the kernel build
procedure finishes -- apparently successfully as it generates the
*.deb files; notwithstanding, it fails to generate *.udeb files --
which are required to build Debian-Installer (d-i)
