I'm sure that works but I've been doing the way I do it because that works for me.  This is what I end up with:

I also save the config with the same version part as the kernel, that way I know which config goes with which kernel.  Everyone has their own way of doing what works for them.  I just prefer to copy my own manually with a name that makes sense to me.  I don't think make install will do this the way I do it.

To each his own.
