If you want a custom kernel, you may generate a config file by any of
these methods (just follow the directions).
% make config # Boring old tty based method
or
% make menuconfig # curses based menu driven method (uses color if
you have any)
% make xconfig # An X window system based method -- make sure
you are running X windows when you call this.
All these methods ultimately generate a .config file. If you already
have a .config file, just copy it to this directory, and you are go.
With a custom .config file in place (created as above) run again:
% make-kpkg clean
% make-kpkg -revision custom.1.0 kernel_image
The debian package is created one directorylevel above (in /usr/src).
Maybe this caused your confusion.

The kind of compression. bzImage ist compressed with a better algorithm.
