There's no target for this simply because the process still involves a
fair bit of manual intervention and, as has been pointed out here
before, the targets that you see in /usr/src/release/Makefile are
*not* done for general consumption's sake, they are done by the
release engineers to make their own releases easier and anything that
doesn't lend itself well to complete automation, we don't. :-)
