If you have a previously compiled kernel, you can copy the old .config
file, and run "make oldconfig" to be prompted for just the configuration
options which have been added.  If you use make-kpkg, or a pre-built
kernel, the old .config file can be found in /boot/config-<version>.

Note that make-kpkg is in the Debian package called kernel-package.
