Download & install the kernel-source package of your choice from one of the
AMD64 mirrors. A tar.bz2 archive will be placed in /usr/src/. Untar this
archive. Then, cd into the resulting source directory. There, you will find a
README.Debian file which will contain a very good mini-howto on the tools &
techniques of compiling a Debian kernel-image.
