I'm curious why?

The -B7 is just Ingo's numbering scheme. 2.6.6-B7 means it's likely to
be against 2.6.6-vanilla. Where does it not apply?

Since you obviously don't care about the docs, how about using any of
several brute force methods?
- rm kernel_api.sgml; touch kenel_api.sgml
- find out where make-kpkg compiles the docs, and remove that (the
docs are not compiled by default- if make-kgkg compiles them, it is
doing it explicitly).
etc
