I am not sure you will get the same kernel after a recompilation, as as far as
I remember most of the options are un-selected in the debian source package.
As an example here are the settings I took in the APM section. It may be of
some help as a starting point. I think it should work with most laptops. Don't
forget to read the help carefully :)
[*] Advanced Power Management BIOS support
[ ] Ignore USER SUSPEND
[*] Enable PM at boot time
[*] Make CPU Idle calls when idle
[*] Enable console blanking using APM
[*] Power off on shutdown
[ ] Ignore multiple suspend
[ ] Ignore multiple suspend/resume cycles
