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
