Building signed debs

I'm trying to build a signed .deb kernel package of
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/v6.6. I've copied
certs/default_x509.genkey to certs/x509.genkey. The .config is the
one from Ubuntu 23.10's default kernel with all new options accepted
at their default and CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS="" and
CONFIG_SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS="".

This builds the kernel and modules, signs the modules, compresses the
modules and then attempts to sign the modules again. That fails,
because the .ko module files are now .ko.zst files and the file it's
trying to sign isn't there. Full failure is pasted below.

Unsetting CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_ZSTD is a workaround (ie disable
module compression).

Is there a way to build a .deb of a signed kernel with compressed modules?

Thanks for any help,
Tom
