Yes, it is strange and yes, nothing pops up. As noted

they would not likely look for anything under /usr/src.
However your question was not about /usr/src, but about /boot (and I
assume /lib/modules)
Time ago before I started building with make deb-pkg ... or better
bindeb-pkg I had to manually clean too.
Now using make bindeb-pkg (may be with -j option) produces debs which are
managed by apt like each other package.
There is also very rear probability you would need old kernel, but it is up
to you to decide what to do with those
