I usually run
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers
headers are often needed.
Regarding to what exactly you wish to do and regarding to the Debian or
Ubuntu version you're using you should run
apt-get update
apt-get install fakeroot build-essential crash kexec-tools makedumpfile
kernel-package kernel-wedge
apt-get build-dep linux
apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev asciidoc
binutils-dev
to get all dependencies. This isn't needed always, but usually there's
nothing missing if you do install the dependencies this way.
