make-kpkg creates a full debian package and registers it with grub 
automatically, and keeps upgrades from taking over your custom kernel. 
Using Debian's package system is usually a good idea when you can - 
make-jpkg, make-kpkg, and dpkg-buildpackage in source directories with a 
debian/ directory in them...

I've always had the right files installed when I just did kernel_image - 
no need to use modules_image.
