I used this script to generate pcmcia packages. Extract the pcmcia-cs
source and run these lines from the pcmcia-cs directory (adopt to your
paths):
export GNUPGHOME=/home/user/.gnupg
debian/rules KSRC=/home/user/debian/tmp/kernel-image-2.4.18-i386bf-2.4.18/build-bf2.4 KMAINT="Eduard Bloch" KEMAIL=blade@debian.org kdist KVERS=2.4.18-bf2.4
Alternatively, you can build the kernel with make-kpkg without going
trough the kernel-image metapackage...
make-kpkg --append-to-version -bf2.4 --bzimage modules-image kernel-image
and extract /usr/src/pcmcia-cs.tar.gz first.

There is a readme for Debian kernel maintainers in the pcmcia-cs package.

Yes. The question is - what are you going to do? Do you only want to
replace the kernel on the existing disks? This may work, but the version
have to match, exactly, including -bf2.4 extension.
Though, if you may become problems with the kernel if you change too
many settings in the kernel image.
