You can use kernel-package to build a kernel-image-deb and to use a
kernel-source-deb (even to build a kernel-header-deb), but you only need to
build a kernel-image.deb to recompile and install the new kernel.
Just go for it, no need to wait for the debian sources, or to build a
kernel-source-package (it would not contain any additional information).
It could be useful to make dpkg less ignorant about your kernel-source,
though.
