The configuration now used for Debian's packaged kernels now won't work
for custom kernels, because it refers to a certificate file not present
in the source tarball.  Even if it was included, the module signing
configuration wouldn't be at all useful for custom kernels.  We should
document what needs to be changed to either enable or disable module
signing.

    Note the need to change module signing options when reusing Debian kernel config
