almost in two ways:

1. because you have your custom kernel, you may "hold" the package via
dpkg/dselect, so it will not ibe upgraded.

2. when you make your custom kernel, you may "personalize" it, with
proper --revison and --append-to-version tags. this method not prevent
kernel-image upgrade, but simply "your" kernel still yours, without touch
the "common mainstream". this is what i do usually.

In fact, my modules:

mizio@sparc:~$ ll /lib/modules/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x   10 root     root         4096 Apr 25 17:58 2.2.20
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Oct 16 16:44 2.4.18
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Oct 18 09:00
2.4.18-preempt-patch

and my kernel-image:

mizio@sparc:~$ uname -a
Linux sparc 2.4.18-preempt-patch #1 Fri Oct 18 03:15:59 CEST 2002 sparc
unknown

hope useful.
