Build from the source package (apt-get source linux-2.6).

Apply the Debian patches with:
    debian/rules source
and then apply your patch to debian/build/source.

You can then build specific kernel binary packages using the targets in
debian/rules.gen, which have names of the form:
    binary-arch_<architecture>_<featureset>_<flavour>
Example:
    fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_xen_686
