You can also simply download the official kernel sources from
a kernel.org mirror, that's generally what I do.

However, I would recommend you get used to building kernels
with the kernel-package package. With that, you build a kernel
and package that into a .deb which can then be installed with
dpkg -i kernel-image-blabla.deb
It takes just a little getting used to, but then it's great.  So,

	apt-get install kernel-package gcc debianutils make libncurses5-dev

should take care of the most important things. After that, read
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README
