How about missing out the making it into a .deb using make-kpkg.
That seems like a major step to leave out.  make install and make
module_install on the other hand should be left out of course.  That would
also take care of update-initramfs and update-grub for you, and it is
trivial to uninstall and clean up later.

Essentially your whole installation section is wrong and should be
replaced with a make-kpkg and dpkg -i step.
