The way I do it is:
1. make menuconfig
2. make-kpkg --bzimage --revision L1 kernel-image
(the revision is L for Local and then whatever number I want)
If simply upgrading from an older kernel and you want to use your old
config file, make oldconfig instead of make menuconfig usually works.
Once it is done, you will have a kernel .deb package in the parent
directory of your kernel tree.
I just install it with dpkg -i
