In the /usr/share/doc/kernel-package directory there should be
a README file which tells you which packages you need to compile
a kernel in the Debian manner - it's a terrific system.
There are further useful docs in the directory produced when you
untar the source-code - especialy look for a file "modules" which
explains in some detail how to build them in.
On the debian website, at the end of the Installation
Instructions for Intel x86 there is a good short guide to
kernel-compiling - I found it a great help.
