You missed /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz

A quick (and potentially dangerous) synopsis:

cd <kernel-source>
make config (or make menuconfig or make xconfig)
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image

make-kpkg now supports fakeroot, I believe, and has a zillion other keen
features besides.  Check out the README.
