The kernel-package readme file explains how to prevent that, near the end
of a lengthy discussion under "Versions and revisions":
So, try using an epoch for your custom packages:
$Get_Root make-kpkg --revision=3:custom.1.0 kernel_image
(Get_Root is whatever you need to become root -- fakeroot or
sudo are examples that come to mind).
The trick is that "3:custom.whatever" will "always" be higher than
any debian-provided kernel package, so apt and dselect won't try
to upgrade it for you.
