As Len has pointed out, you do need to watch out for security patches with

you'll have to patch your sources and re-compile. But you can cross that

you can, to some extent, keep the best of both worlds: compile your own
kernel, using the debian packaged kernel sources. I currently run a number
of (unofficial) sarge machines, using backported udev, yaird and a few more
packages from sid + kernels compiled from the linux-source-2.6.x packages
from sid. They are maintained by the Debian Kernel team, including security
patches, are up to date and I compile what I need (the debian way, using
kernel-package).
