make-kpkg --revision=gidget.1.0 kernel-image
the 2.4.22 already forms part of the package name, ie
kernel-image-2.4.22_gidget.1.0_i386.deb
using gidget.1.0 lets you make further revisions of the same kernel
verion, ie gidget.1.1

after that do make-kpkg modules_image is you're compiling anything in
/usr/src/modules

both these need to be done as root

the files should be /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.22_gidget.1.0_i386.deb
