>From the debian docs(http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.en.html ):
"Execute the command: make-kpkg -rev Custom.N kernel_image, where N is a
revision number assigned by the user. The new Debian archive thus formed
would have revision Custom.N, e.g. kernel-image-2.2.14_Custom.1_i386.deb
for the Linux kernel 2.2.14 on i386."

so a command like:
~/$ make-kpkg -rev Custom.060919 kernel_image

should give you what you want.

HTH.
