Here is one way:

 # apt-get install git build-essential
 $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
 $ cd linux
 $ git checkout b74fd238a9cf^
 $ make localmodconfig; # minimal configuration
 $ make deb-pkg; # can add -j<n> for parallel build
 # dpkg -i ../<name of package>
 # reboot
 ... test test test ...

 $ cd ~/src/linux
 $ git checkout b74fd238a9cf
 $ make silentoldconfig; # reuse configuration
 $ make deb-pkg
 # dpkg -i ../<name of package>
 # reboot

Some more details on building the kernel are at
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ and in the
debian-kernel-handbook package, though I wouldn't be surprised if
there are details missing (in which case bug reports would be
appreciated).

Thanks, and sorry for my slow response.
