You could, for instance, use the diffs which accompany the source
package. All debian (installation) packages have a source package
which in turn is built from an upstream tarball + a patch to apply
any debian related changes.
But for the kernel, you might as well just get the vanilla tarball
from kernel.org if you need to apply your own patches: The magic all
resides in make-kpkg anyway, and afaik it's only the most recent debian
kernels that have had any patches applied at all (bicbw about this).
