This may/should work. I use "make bindeb-pkg" in the vanilla kernel tree regulary and
in the past I used also something like "dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot" in the
debian kernel source package.

Boot the kernel via tftp (and give the installer ramdisk, as mentioned in an earlier
email) is the option I use most of the times - as for building the linux-image*deb,
there are other ways. YMMV.
