Incorrect EXTRAVERSION in apt-get source linux-image-2.6.35-27-server ?

Asked by Mark A. Ziesemer

I'm trying to recompile the Linux kernel in Ubuntu, as documented at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile .

Why, after doing "apt-get source linux-image-2.6.35-27-server", does the Makefile in the source directory have "EXTRAVERSION = .11" instead of -27 (what was apparently used in the original build)?

I'm already passing --append-to-version=-server-test to make-kpkg, but then I get 2.6.35.11-server-test, instead of the expected 2.6.35-27-server-test.
