A small example of what you call "masochistic":
cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.18pre18
make config|menuconfig|xconfig
make-kpkg --revision 9:blabla kernel_image
dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.2.18pre18_blabla*.deb

You can use the classic kernel build process if you want (make clean dep
bzImage modules modules_install). The kernel image will be in
arch/i386/boot.
