I've now finally managed to build l-r-m from the source package; the
debian/rules script needed some substantial modification to allow the
building of just one kernel flavour.  I've posted "instructions" (I
hesitate to use that term) on the wiki as part of
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild . 

I'd be grateful for feedback and corrections, as well as other users'
experiences.
