Install the "kernel-package" package (and it's dependencies :-) and pull
the source to a standard Linux kernel from a mirror, such as:
http://www.it.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6
Untar this into an appropriate directory, cd into that, use "make
menuconfig" to configure your kernel and "make-kpkg kernel_image" to
build a Debian package of it.
There's lots of documentation around to take you through this process,
not least in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/ once you've installed that.

Andrew McMillan.
