Which kernel team?

It seems that building the package actually merges together several 
config files for the different subarchitectures etc so its not clear 
which config file I would need to modify in order to produce the change 
that I need.

I'm also not convinced that its a great idea to manually edit the config 
file as there may be dependencies. For one thing, NFS root depends on 
kernel level autoconfiguration. This dependency is taken care of by  
make config et.al.

I'd be worried that by manually editing the config files I'd 
accidentally skip some important detail.
