The makefiles aren't broken, just the people that use them.  8)  Most of
the people that I've seen have this issue aren't used to constantly
changing kernels.  They're used to having 2.2.1x on their tree and never
needing to do a "make dep" after their initial configuration.

Alas, we're living in a world where we're getting a kernel rev per week,
so this stuff gonna happen more and more often.
