Always rm any old dir first or bad things can happen to the build.

Use module-assistant.  For example:

m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx

I hope to fix support for make-kpkg (which is essentially what you are
emulating) soon.  Of course I got the impression the debian kernel
maintainers no longer consider make-kpkg a valid method to use, but still.
