"With earlier versions of the linux-2.6 source, building all the binary
packages has taken 11 to 22 hours here, so calling
debian/rules.gen directly was a huge timesaver. If this shortcut
is documented, I don't know where."

This is documented in the 'Debian Linux Kernel Handbook"

http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html

However, this /debian/rules.gen fails on my system with this:

root@emach433:/usr/src/linux#make -f debian/rules.gen
binary-arch_i386_none_686
debian/rules.gen:37: warning: overriding commands for target `install'
debian/rules.gen:12: warning: ignoring old commands for target `install'
make: *** No rule to make target `binary-arch_i386_none_686'. Stop.
