Thanks for writing this up. Maybe you would want to put this up on wiki.
http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage

Please, check the history of contributions ("Info" button) :-).
Then you will see I have done a lot of in the section "The story of
linux-kbuild-2.6".
The appropriate wiki is always a good place to put such a step-by-step
build-instructions.
BUT I am describing a corner-case:
The move to linux-tools affects Debian-kernels >=3.2, so you have to
split within this wiki-section as there is for example Debian/lenny
with 2.6.32-kernel.
And... my base is a Linux vanilla source - I never liked that
DFSG-pruned tarball - it's additional work.
I respect the Debian philosophy - but I have the work - it's my time.
The GPL-v2 Linux vanilla kernel-source is easier from handling for me
(as I have it stored on my local hdd).
An idea could be to attach my Mini-Howto TXT-file (v2 attached)...

##### SOME USEFUL VARIABLES
### Package names
PKG_NAME="linux-tools"
PKG_NAME_LATEST="${PKG_NAME}-latest"
### Version strings
PKG_VER="3.5"
KERNEL_VERSION="$PKG_VER"
PKG_VER_LATEST="3.4-1~experimental.1"
### Tarballs
KERNEL_TARBALL="linux-${KERNEL_VERSION}.tar.xz"
DEBIAN_TARBALL="${PKG_NAME}_${PKG_VER}.orig.tar.gz"
### XXX: Workaround for new naming-scheme from upstream (tarball: 2 digits VS. Makefile: 3 digits)

### URLs
KERNEL_FTP_URL="http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x";
DEBIAN_SVN_URL="svn://svn.debian.org/kernel/releases/${PKG_NAME}"
### Working and build directories
WORK_DIR="${HOME}/src/${PKG_NAME}"
BUILD_DIR="${WORK_DIR}/${PKG_NAME}-${PKG_VER}"
##### PREPARE DEBIAN PACKAGE
### Create and enter working directory
[ -d $WORK_DIR ] || mkdir -p $WORK_DIR
cd $WORK_DIR
### Download Linux vanilla source file
wget $KERNEL_FTP_URL/$KERNEL_TARBALL
### Checkout $PKG_NAME_LATEST from $DEBIAN_SVN_URL
svn co $DEBIAN_SVN_URL/$PKG_VER_LATEST $PKG_NAME_LATEST
### Enter the arena
cd $PKG_NAME_LATEST
### Remove unwanted SVN-repository related files and dirs
rm -v -rf $(find ./ -name .svn)
### Generate missing debian/control file to satisfy dch (included in devscripts package)
make -f debian/rules debian/control-real
### Bump package-name and debian-version
dch -i
### Re-create and check debian/control file for "linux-kbuild" (should contain $PKG_VER)
make -f debian/rules debian/control-real
grep linux-kbuild debian/control
### XXX: Workaround: Repack Linux vanilla tarball
cd $WORK_DIR
tar -xf $KERNEL_TARBALL
mv linux-${KERNEL_VERSION} linux-${KERNEL_VERSION_REPACKED}
tar -c --gzip -f $KERNEL_TARBALL_REPACKED linux-${KERNEL_VERSION_REPACKED}
rm -rf linux-${KERNEL_VERSION_REPACKED}
### Generate DFSG-pruned $DEBIAN_TARBALL
cd $PKG_NAME_LATEST
./debian/bin/genorig.py ../$KERNEL_TARBALL_REPACKED
### Unpack $DEBIAN_TARBALL
cd $WORK_DIR
tar -xf orig/$DEBIAN_TARBALL
# Copy debian-dir from SVN checkout
cp -av ${PKG_NAME_LATEST}/debian $BUILD_DIR
### Delete symlink to orig/$DEBIAN_TARBALL, move the real file and delete orig-dir
rm -v -f $DEBIAN_TARBALL
mv -v orig/$DEBIAN_TARBALL ./
rm -v -rf orig/
##### BUILD DEBIAN PACKAGE
### Enter build-dir
cd $BUILD_DIR
### Check build-dependencies (run 'apt-get build-dep linux-tools' to satisfy build-deps)
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
### Start the build (alternatively: run 'dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc')
debuild
##### CLEAN-UP
cd $WORK_DIR
### Remove kernel tarballs
rm -v -f $KERNEL_TARBALL
rm -v -f $KERNEL_TARBALL_REPACKED
### Remove directory from SVN checkout
rm -v -rf $PKG_NAME_LATEST
### Remove build-dir
rm -v -rf $BUILD_DIR
##### INSTALL DEBIAN PACKAGE
### Install linux-kbuild package manually
dpkg -i linux-kbuild-${PKG_VER}_*.deb
